Tess Gerritsen has never disappointed me. Every time I'm about to start one of her novels I know I'm going to find it so gripping that I won't be able to put it down. Crime thriller, suspense, mystery are the genres that have made me love reading and Tess Gerritsen is certainly my favourite contemporary author when it comes to these genres. 
 The Rizzoli & Isles series is awesome. I love both Jane and Maura, although I've noticed some dislike the latter. I must admit I picture them as the actresses in the TV series, which doesn't have much in common with the novels but still is a very good one. 
 So Ice Cold is the 8th installment in the series. Maura travels to Wyoming for a medical conference and there she bumps into a former university colleague who invites her to go on a mountain trip with two friends and his daughter. Their car gets stuck on the road, in the middle of apparently nowhere. Eventually, they find shelter in an abandoned and creepy village called Kingdom Come. From then on everything goes crazy and Maura and her friends have to face dangerous and possibly deadly situations. 
 Ice Cold is a bone-chilling novel. It's impossible not to get shocked and even a little emotional when learning about the mystery behind the people who lived in Kingdom Come. First half of the novel made me think I would give it 5 stars, because the story was dark, frightening, enticing. All these applied to the second half as well, my only problem was that everything got so twisted that I wasn't able at times to understand perfectly what had actually happened. I feel that Ice Cold, compared to the other books in the series, lacked the usual great amount of detailed descriptions of forensic medical procedures, specific to Gerritsen, which is explainable, considering that the "Queen of the Dead" was constantly in danger for most of the novel. Nevertheless, I would recommend this book to anyone who's looking for a very suspenseful and unputdownable book.
