Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Hired to find a boy gene missing in Doraville, North Carolina, Harper Connelly and her brother Tolliver head there-only to discover that the boy was only one of several who had disappeared over the previous five years. All of them teenagers. All unlikely runaways.
All calling for Harper.
Harper soon finds them-eight victims, buried in the half-frozen ground, all come to an unspeakable end. Afterwards, what she most wants to do is collect her fee and get out of town ahead of the media storm that's soon to descend. But when she's attacked and prevented from leaving, she reluctantly becomes a part of the investigation as she learns more than she cares to about the dark mysteries and long-hidden secrets of Doraville-knowledge that makes her the subsequent person likely to rest in an ice-cold grave.

I got this book after reading the many good reviews, but I have to say I was a little disappointed with it. I was more than halfway thru the book and all I could think was "when is something going to happen?" It's an okay story, but just too slow and repetitive to keep you hooked. I like to read a book I can't stand to put down -- this definitely wasn't one, in my opinion.

I find Mrs. Harris one of the best authors I read regularly. She is excellent in her descriptions of her characters and their dialogue suites the situation perfectly. An Ice Cold Grave is one of her best efforts. Her very first novel she wrote in the mystery series was a bit weak but she has improved to the point of equaling her previous vampire series or even surpassed those books - which are excellent imight add.

Like anyone who has read Charlaine Harris, and continues to read her books, I enjoy them a lot. One of her series that I LOVE is Sookie Stackhouse!
But about this 3rd installment in the Harper Connelly Series, which was just slightly disappointing because of what happened in the middle of the book. I won't say what that was, because it would be a huge spoiler and I won't do that to those who haven't read An Ice Cold Grave. But those who have, will probably know what I'm referring to. What happened should never have happened when it did! I felt that it was just thrown in and not thought out by the author. It really threw me off balance. If it happened towards the end of the book, that would have made more sense, because it would have flowed better with what happened at the end of the book, but NOT in the middle! If it hadn't been for that not-so-wise choice on Charlaine Harris' part, I would have given the book 5 stars.
On a lighter note: It was a good read, sans the untimely incident. As with the other books in the series there was a nice balance of annoying characters, great characters, tension, out loud laughs, etc... And the killer was a surprise, which was a surprise in itself.

I really enjoyed the Harper Connelly series and would like to see more of these characters.

I have recently become acquainted with Charlene Harris' works. I have enjoyed each and every one and hope she writes many more. The seller provided it as promised and well within the shipment window promised.
