![]() ![]() I'm pleased to report that none of these criticism apply to Fire and Ice. The action scenes didn't generate much tension." The solution to the crime came much too fast and without the reader having much opportunity to share in the detecting. ![]() There is some good writing with relaxed and amusing observations, but there are also segments where the writing just "tries too hard," and other segments where it seems cliche-driven. "After a long period of introducing characters and the Alaska locale, with a plot going nowhere, the pace did pick up and the story became interesting. I went back to my review of Stabenow's A Cold Day For Murder, of which I was quite critical (2**). The characters - primary and support - are all interesting, and those who are still alive will presumably be developed further in subsequent books in this series. This is a terrific quick read crime story. My 1* to 5***** standard is different for crime & thrillers than it is for other categories. ![]()
