“A fast-paced noir thriller. The Ice Maiden deserves a spot at or near the top of your reading list.” –Best ThrillersA serial killer is abducting, torturing, and murdering young women in a small community in central Maine. Seeming to select his victims at random, he acts out the rituals of the Spanish Inquisition before committing their bodies to the sacred waters of nearby Sebec Lake. Anne … sacred waters of nearby Sebec Lake. Anne Quinn, an investigator for the Piscataquis County sheriff’s office, and Detective Douglas Bateman with the Major Crimes Unit of the Maine State Police join forces in tracking him down. Hiding in plain sight, the killer is clearly from the local community and plays a deadly “catch me if you can” game with Quinn and Bateman. He seems determined to humiliate them and demonstrate his superior intellect, leading them to suspect that perhaps there is a deeper motive and purpose behind his string of murders.

Good story but a lot of grammar errors, and missing words.

Great story, interesting characters.
A bit slow getting started but the more you read the more you wanted to! Well told,well developed characters and a page turner as the plot unflods. Looking forward to reading more by this author.
Sad to think that these kind of crazy’s live among us, but they do. Character development was very good, I didn’t get lost with new characters. Nice blend of romance waning and building,
Plot was a bit slow to develop, but the villain was a real work. Story was nicely described and developed.
Can’t put it down
A good read. It leaves room for more along the same story line
