“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.

Loved it and bought the second in the series.
Interesting Dec/May romance, mixed in with the plot. Good comic relief provided by Det. Bhar and loved the gossip queen!
Ice Blue is a fun plot driven mystery but still has great complex characters.
Loved it.
Emma Jameson has a new fan. I took a chance on Ice Blue, what appears to be her debut novel. In my ongoing quest for good reads, I take a chance on many novels. If I’m not engaged by the end of the first chapter, I don’t read beyond. If I don’t love the author’s story and characters by the end of the book, I don’t buy another. As I finished Ice …
Great Christmas read. Wonderful characters that update Dorothy Sayers’s Gaudy Night.
There’s so much to love about this series, not the least of which are the amazing characters and the marked opposites-attract element between the two leads. Highly recommend–can’t wait for the next installment!
Love all the characters in this series. Always an intriguing story that leaves you wanting more
This was a real pleasure to read and i have every expectation of enjoying the entire series. The characters were well crafted, people one might actually want to know. The plot held together, and if not a huge surprise, certainly a reasonable one. And one just has to enjoy the snarky comments Bhar comes up with.
I gobbled this book, and eventually the next 3 in the series as well! I fell in love with the main characters. I am crazy about British police procedurals in general, and this book, and eventually the series, takes the top If my list. Very well written, smooth, like gliding on ice as the eye makes its way down the page.
The characters are engaging with an interesting well developed plot, and to continue reading the other books in the series.
A bit far fetched but a fun read anyway. New Scotland Yard Detective in a contemporary setting. Enjoyable.
I loved all three in this series.
This was a “don’t want to put it down” book for me. Really enjoyed the main characters (3) individually and how they interacted. I will definitely continue with this series.
Very good book, keep me reading !!!!
I would like to read all the parts of the book as soon as possible. Loved it.
Powerful contemporary British police procedural. Fascinating characters, Engrossing story. I found it hard to put down, because I wanted to know what was going to happen next. I will happily pay for the next in the series.
Lost interest in it.
A good Scotland Yard procedural! Definitely worth the read!
Love all English mysteries
