The Ice
Killer
Once, her heart was empty. Now it's filled with ice…
Ellen's therapist told her to forget the past, but
the life she’s left with is boring. All she wants is to be happy and normal,
but the approaching long bleak nights of winter loom heavy before her,
especially as she'll be alone.
But when the secrets her mother put in place to
protect her are exposed, Ellen learns the frightening truth. Her history is
darker than she imagined. She's not who she thinks she is, and the real her is
a very different person to the one that others have mistreated and exploited.
If there's hope of a future, Ellen must find answers
about the past, and the new Ellen is less forgiving. This winter, there will be
more than just discontent, and DI Barton will struggle in his hardest case to
date.
How can he find the truth when all the victims and
witnesses are dead?
My thoughts
Wow .... what a brilliant book! Apart from the excellently characterized Barton team, we have a killer who is so fascinatingly disturbed and yet so vulnerable and in need of protection that I was completely bowled over. To say I couldn't put The Ice Killer down would be a massive understatement.
I don't think I've read a book so quickly and feverishly this year.
With themes of mental health, abuse, drug abuse, bullying and revenge, this is not a book for those who like cosy. As usual Greenwood doesn't shy away from the stark reality of some people's lives and yet avoids being judgemental. Many of the issues raised in the book need exploring and Greenwood does it with a poised and confident hand.
With regular humour interspersed to lighten the mood, I feel this is perhaps the best in the series so far ... I am a Barton fan and hope there will be more in this delightfully dark series.
