The Girl in the Ice

"4.75 star<br/><br/>Wow just realized I flew through this book in one day. Definitely didn't see the twist at the end which is the best when it comes to murder thrillers. Very cleverly done. Also the plot and writing was easy to read and follow along. About halfway through I was already considering the rest of the series. Just very well done all the way around.<br/><br/>What was my favorite piece of the story? The main character Erika of course. Beyond badass and by far one of the most awesome female characters I have read. She is cunning, brave, and even though she lost everything, even though she is looked down on, she never gives up her sense of morality.<br/><br/>Why is it that still to this day a person station in society still stays with them even to their grave? Just because a murder victim was a prostitute doesn't mean she is less entitled than anyone else in finding her murder. I wanted to stand up and clap everytime Erika gave a speech or orders. She was wicked smart and fought for fairness in the world were there was none.<br/><br/>Pretty sure the reason I was spurred on by this story was the fact that everyone turned against Erika even though they were on the same side. She gave it right back to them though, my kind of woman. The narrator Jan Cramer did a great job. Angela's voice was my favorite, hilarious, more of a cockney British accent. Asking Erica if she was a lessy. Haha. And I also enjoyed the vantage point of the killer that is highly unusual in a thriller from what I've seen but liked it all the same.<br/><br/>"Do you take the SIO seriously Sparks?" <br/>"Well seeing as how only one of us has it. Yes." He said.<br/>"SIO means senior investigating officer. The senior part doesn't mean your older than everyone and entitled to bully people when the **** hits the fan. It means you take the responsibility for your **** ups.<br/>"I don't understand." Said Sparks<br/>"That's been the problem. I've been reinstated to SIO and my first order us that you need to piss off."<br/><br/>Yaasss Erika you go girl! Kick his ass seabass!"

"Great read! I really like DCI Foster and look forward to the next book in the series."

"This series is simply put PERFECT. Each book is addictive. Each has its own rhythm, and reads completely different. Can’t put them down. "

"Really good book. It got me into reading Murder/Mystery books "

"LOVED!! "

"I’m obsessed with this series. I don’t think it gets nearly enough hype. It is a murder mystery, so just beware. "

"I've been devouring Shari Lapena lately!"

"Kept me on the edge of my seat! It wasn't easy to solve and kept me guessing. I was craving the next book by Robert when I devoured this one! "

"I couldn’t put it down. I had to find out what happened. "

"Nothing special. On the slower side."
