Ice Cold by Tess Gerritsen

14Mar. Kindle.

I read the early books in this series some years ago and enjoyed them, but for some reason never kept up with it. They do tend to be fairly grim, maybe that was it.

This one was certainly no exception in the grimness department. And I may have to go back to the beginning to catch up with the back story. Jane Rizzoli is married! To an FBI agent, no less. And Maura Isles is engaged in a long running affair with the police chaplain - a Catholic priest. Talk about places I never expected this series to go.

But this one has it all. Maura goes off to a conference in Wyoming in November and in frustration over her romantic situation takes off for a weekend with an old med school classmate and a group of his friends. We get an abusive polygamist cult, mass murder, and criminal police officers. And Maura in mortal danger, of course, and Jane and husband coming to the rescue. Not a relaxing read, high adrenaline all the way.
