Ice Cold by Tess Gerritsen
4.0
In search of a new mystery series, I actually read #9 (Silent Girl) first, due to the luck of the library draw, and then backtracked to read #1 - 8 plus The Bone Garden.
Ice Cold is better than several others in the series, perhaps because it's set outside of Boston & New England. Dr. Isles, in Wyoming for a medical examiners' conference, decides on the spur of the moment to accompany an old college friend, his daughter, and his friends on what is supposed to be an overnight trip. The trip is a disaster for all parties in different ways.
Apart from the sudden cameo reappearances of Sansone & Lily Saul, I found the characters and turn of events to be believable. Also, unlike Patricia Cornwell, who seems to hate her characters with an undying hatred, Tess Gerritsen likes her creations, and I look forward to what they do in #10, whenever that comes out.
