NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA spur-of-the-moment ski trip becomes a bone-chilling nightmare when a wrong turn leaves Boston medical examiner Maura Isles marooned—far from home and help—in the snowbound Wyoming mountains. Seeking shelter from the cold, she and her traveling companions stumble upon Kingdom Come—a remote village of identical houses that seems to have become a ghost town overnight. But … ghost town overnight. But the abandoned hamlet has dark secrets to tell, and Maura’s party may not be as alone as they think. Days later, word reaches homicide cop Jane Rizzoli that Maura’s charred remains have been found at the scene of a car crash. But the shocking news leaves Jane with too many questions, and only one way to get answers. Determined to dig up the truth, she heads for the frozen desolation of Kingdom Come, where gruesome discoveries lie buried, and a ruthless enemy watches and waits.

Tess Gerritsen is the queen of mystery!! She never disappoints!! Every page is a guess as to what Jane and Maura are going to get themselves into. When Maura goes missing, you get a glimpse of their friendship and the great lengths Jane will go to in order to protect her. I love everything she puts out!!
This is another great thriller by Gerritsen. She weaves her magic using familiar characters in new and strange settings–this time it’s Wyoming in January. Her readers have come to expect last minute surprises in Gerritsen’s complicated plots, and this book is no exception.
Love Tess books.. Didn’t want to put the book down..
Great book!
A great read!
An enjoyable read. I was a little disappointed that Jane Rizzoli was not the main character along with Illes. It was well written, with a complex plot that keeps you guessing, with some unique characters.
I love Tess Gerritson’s writing. Ice Cold helped me know the main character, Dr. Maura Isles, better. I now know her personal backstory.
There was some bad language used. Author could use other ways to describe without using bad language.
Chilling as it’s title. A real page turner.
great story, has you guessing. I have read all the rizzoli and isles books, detective and
medical examiner. If you read anyone then you would want to read them all.
This is a tense mystery with more than one villain. Dr. Maura Isles, Boston Medical Examiner, is in Wyoming for a medical conference. The conference is over and she is invited on a last minute ski trip by an old acquaintance from medical school. She joins his party only to get caught in a blizzard on a dirt road. Their SUV goes into a ditch and they walk to an abandoned group of houses on a private road. There is a car in each garage and food on the tables in many houses. Something happened that caused everyone to leave in a hurry and without their cars.
The people that were living there were part of a cult whose leader is still alive. Jane Rizzoli, Boston PD homicide, and her husband, FBI agent Gabriel Dean, go to Wyoming to look for their friend when she is reported missing.
Several more people die and I won’t go into spoiler territory, but the case is resolved. I liked the ending. If you are turned off by gore, this might not be for you, as there is a graphic description of an autopsy.
This is book 8 in the series and I recommend reading them in order. I borrowed this book from the library.
Maura must survive in the frigid Wyoming wilderness while being hunted by unknown assassins. She survives only to discover a deadly secret that has been buried for decades.
A fantastic book about survival against all odds. All of the Rizzoli and Isles books are fantastic but this one is the best. Pitted against the elements, brutal cold and an invisible enemy, Maura uses her amazing intellect to get herself and her friends out of danger.
Love, love Tess Gerritsen. All the Rizolli and Isles books are great
This author consistently writes with compelling plot and characters with surprise endings.
I love the Rissolli & Isles series & this is one of the better ones.
Very enjoyable
It moved, was not predictable & had great characters. Tension was perfect.
Another fantastic thriller from Gerritsen.
I always love Rizzoli and Isles!
