“What made this ebook such pleasurable reading was not the murder or even the Police procedure, but the rather wonderful cast of characters that the author, Emma Jameson, has created to populate her world. In the space of about 184 pages, Emma has managed to give us a whole collection of individuals, each very nicely rounded out and real. Even very minor players – such as the tall PC who finds … the pistol seems to be alive and obviously has a life outside the book.” — Tony Cole, eBookanoid.com
Anthony Hetheridge, ninth Baron of Wellegrave, Chief Superintendent for New Scotland Yard, never married, no children, no pets, no hobbies, and not even an interesting vice, will turn sixty in three weeks. With the exception of his chosen career, too sordid for his blue-blooded family to condone, his life has been safe and predictable. But then he meets Detective Sergeant Kate Wakefield – beautiful, willful, and nearly half his age. When Hetheridge saves the outspoken, impetuous young detective from getting the sack, siding with her against Scotland Yard’s powerful male hierarchy, his cold, elegantly balanced world spins out of control. Summoned to London’s fashionable Belgravia to investigate the brutal murder of a financier, Hetheridge must catch the killer while coping with his growing attraction to Kate, the reappearance of an old flame, and the secret that emerges from his own past.

A fun read…..
Enjoyed the main characters even though I am not British
What the heck? I’m now supposed to write WHY I liked this book after checking that bunch of stuff? Which is somewhat predictable…Come on – it was a great read and I bought the next one only because it was. I only read mysteries/thrillers – romances make me gag! Just sayin…
Thought it was a great story and I loved it.
Kept my interest.
I enjoyed this book and hope to read the other books in the series. I like the characters!
Ice Blue is a very good read with interesting and complicated characters who come to life on the pages. I recommend it!
Really enjoyed it. Liked there was no swearing, gratuitous sex or violence.
This is a good read.
I enjoyed the characters, who are a bit off the usual fare. The author creates a world that comes to life. Two very different people collide and somehow mesh.
Great book
I love this series. Love the characters and the comedy.
Kept my interest right from the very beginning.
I enjoyed reading an English mystery.
Enjoyed the well rounded characters and inventive storyline. Hard to put down!
Easy to read. I was always in a hurry to get back to it.
I liked the mystery and the fast pace of the story. I couldn’t put it down.
Made me want to read more in the series
I have already purchased the next book in the series. This was that enjoyable. I love British police procedurals. It had a face paced plot and great characters.
So they met “cute”, on the job and have distinct issues. It’s fun to see them work them out.
