Cold as Ice (DC Ebony Willis Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Lee Weeks (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 1,297 ratings
GRIPPING AND FAST-PACED CRIME FICTION FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FROZEN GRAVE AND COLD KILLERS.

On a freezing cold winter's day, the body of a young woman is pulled from an icy canal in London. To D.I. Dan Carter it looks like a tragic accident rather than the work of a murderer. But D.C. Ebony Willis is not so sure. Why has the woman's face been painted with garish make-up and wrapped in a plastic bag?

Meanwhile cosmetics saleswoman Tracy Collins receives a phonecall. It's been twenty years since she gave up her daughter for adoption, so when Danielle gets in touch, she hesitantly begins to kindle a relationship with her and her grandson Jackson. But when Danielle suddenly disappears, Tracy is plunged into the middle of a living nightmare.

With the discovery of another body, it becomes clear that Danielle is in grave danger. There is no time to lose and Ebony Willis must take on the most challenging assignment of her career - to play the role of the killer's next victim.

From the author of the bestselling Dead of Winter comes a page-turning new thriller that will have you hooked from start to finish.

    I really enjoy Lee's writing, she can carry a story and the plot here is much more believable than her first novel in this series about a London MIT - murder squad. However, this is a crowded area in crime fiction and I am left asking if there is much originality here that lets it stand out from the rest. The book is a pleasure to read and the characterisation excellent but I wonder about Dan Carter. Happily Jeanie and Ebony get good roles in solving this case and providing some balance. I like the humourous touches, Doctor Jo Harding
    is more scary than Miranda in this story.
    Great opening as the first body is recovered; excellent use of the wintery landscape. Good slight of hand to keep the suspect's identy a mystery but you do fear the worse. Week's holds back no punches; this is horrific stuff at times, well researched and revealed progressively throughout the book. I am hooked on this series and long for the next episode which I hope fully blows me away. Anyone who likes this genre will appreciate this author while she might not yet stand out from the rest she will entertain and thrill the reader in equal measure.

    Didn't know this author but liked the synopsis so gave it a try. It started well establishing the very believable characters and I was intrigued. Enjoyed it till about two thirds of the way through when I felt it became predictable. I guessed the baddie and quickly got tired of the silly, over the top gore in the last part of the book. I found myself skimming to get to the end. I'm afraid I won't be buying another by this author.

    The discovery of a body in a canal starts off an investigation that involves a lot of detailed work. We also hear about a young single mother trying to improve her lot by returning to resume her education and at the same time meet her birth mother. The twists and turns keep you absorbed but I for one would hate to meet the murderer and maybe the author of this book, based on the horrors that the victims go through. The clues and connecting links are there but I think the readers might get there before the detectives. Going undercover was probably not the best thing to do for Ebony as it brought back her shocking bad childhood. If this was dramatized almost the same as the book, warning would have to be given out for the viewers before hand. All in all a scary but addictive book.

    A great story, well written.
    Would recommend, but beware Amazons pricing system.
    Made the mistake of buying books 1 to 5 at the same time, as i was waiting to buy them, but books were priced at £4.99 each for the last 2 years, ..., then 3 weeks after i finally purchased them the price drops to 99p. Each!! highly disillusioned with amazons pricing system..

    I had misgivings at first as her last book (dead of winter) was so disappointing. Not so with this one, it was brilliant. A real page turner with a couple if red herrings but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Characters are first class and everything was covered in the story. I hope there will be another book to follow this.
