In Ice

 

In Ice- Dave Sivers- Crime

A group of young people break into a house and find more than the emptiness they were after. They swore to close ranks but one of the girls couldn't live with what they’d found and so made an anonymous 999 call. When the police investigate further they find five bodies in locked freezers and from the marks on the inside lids it looks like the victims were alive when they went in. Where is the house owner who seems to have either gone abroad or disappeared and who on earth would be doing this and covering their tracks so well?

A novel I quickly got into and stayed there and a new author for me- one I wouldn't hesitate to read again. This is the second book in the series and happily stands alone- I hadn't read the first one. There’s a good tension and depth to this along with a clever premise. Nate and Izzy come across very well and make a good team both having different facets of skill adding to the investigation and keeping the interest of the reader easily. Nate also has a backstory going on regarding his own family which for me adds to the depth of character and one that left me reeling at the end, so cleverly done. A stunning, brilliant read a big 5*.

In Ice: A terrifying, twisty, serial killer thriller. Every action has a consequence…   ‘As dark, gritty and chilling as it gets.  Keep the lights on!’ – Liz Mistry    An anonymous call leads DI Nathan Quarrel and his team to a secluded house in a Hertfordshire village and a horrific discovery: three chest freezers containing the naked bodies of five women.    As the painstaking business of identifying the apparently unconnected victims gets underway, it becomes frighteningly clear that a sadistic serial killer has been at work, probably over a long period of time.     With no strong suspects, and no leads, unmasking the killer takes on a new urgency. Because the discoveries at what the media is calling a 'house of horrors' may not stop the killer, or even slow them down. Indeed, they may already have targeted their next victim.  Link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BMGHSLWK
