Broken Ice by Matt Goldman

3.0

If the first Nils Shapiro book hadn't been SO good, I might not have been disappointed by this one. Maybe there's a second book slump that occurs after a writer has hit the ground running with his character, voice, etc. This is still a very enjoyable mystery, but Nils isn't as funny and the story is a bit unwieldy somehow. Fortunately we get reacquainted with some familiar characters from the first book and we get to meet Jameson who is delightful. And Nils is still gifting women with his incredible skills in bed. I definitely recommend this book, but if you loved the first one you might want to come into this one with slightly lowered expectations.
