The Ice Maiden Reviews
-
Tessa, a newly divorced school teacher turned amatuer sleuth and Claire a missing student is a mystery story with unexpected twist and turns. I thought I had figured out "whodunnit" halfway through the book but then the ending surprised me! I have experienced premonitions myself so was drawn into the bad dreams the teacher was having and trying to interpret. A good mystery book to cuddle up to on a cold winters day that is not too short and not too long.

Ably written, with a nice sense of location and a good atmosphere, this works well.
