A review by greatdistractions
The Ice Twins by S.K. Tremayne

3.0

I believe it was an interesting book, although I have some reservations about the conclusion of the final conflict. The mystery was sustained throughout it, and there were twists I didn't see coming. I found myself thinking about it once I had put it down, coming up with theories as to what happened.

But I didn't like that, in the end, it wasn't really a murder. Their daughter's death really WAS an accident. The conflict wasn't created over a concealed murder, but over the fact that they were handling a tragedy badly. Which is an interesting idea, in its own right, however the book seemed to be people pointing fingers, only to find out that it wasn't anyone's fault. Realistic, yes. But not as intriguing as a murder mystery.

Although that's just my own preference. I can see why a lot of people would prefer the ending to that of a standard mystery, and it definitely had its own merits.
