An Ice Cold Grave by Charlaine Harris
3.0
This Harper installment, the third in the series, is a bit more gruesome than the others seem to be. There have been a rash of disappearances of young men in Doraville and Harper, along with Tolliver, is called in to look for bodies.
The mystery was pretty intense. There are a few points it seemed to be almost solved, but from the number of pages left, you just knew it wasn't. Manfred and Xylda show up, and they are always fun, but the real story here is the realtionship between Harper and Tolliver. It's been clear from book one how they feel about each other, but will they actually do something about it now? That's what I really wanted to know.
These stories are fun to read. I don't know if Harris is a sloppy writer, or if she just churns these out so fast that they aren't properly edited. As long as the stories continue to move quickly, I can overlook all the mistakes for the sake of entertainment, but as soon as the paces slows down, these will become unreadable. Let's hope she keeps up the pace.
