Even though this is not Britt Montero, it is a wonderful ride. The hostage stand-off had me laughing out loud, as good or better than anything Carl Hiaasen has ever done! The characters introduced in "Ice Maiden" do not disappoint.

A Cold Case squad in Miami investigates a 12 year old death and find more than they thought.
Helpful Score: 1
Detective Stone is on the trail of a serial killer who specializes in old ladies, laying the bodies out in meticulously composed death scenes. Stone suspects the killer is an orthodox Jew, clued in by his feisty grandma, who used to work for a Jewish family. The chief case is 12 years old and involves Charles Terrell, who everyone thought was accidentally blown up while working on his car. This cold case heats up quickly when the team chases down Terrell's sexy ex-wife, Natasha, who's dallying with her gardener, Nelson, a naïve Cuban immigrant who provides an amusing Carl Hiassen-like chase scene toward the end.
Fast pleasant interesting read.
Great book. Suspenseful and gets better as it goes along.
I think Edna Buchanan is wonderful. I always read her books in a day or two.
This doesn't have Britt Montero but it reads faster than Britt's stories. I enjoyed it so much I had to immediately find the rest of the series. It moved along for me.
This might explain why it took me a little while to get into the story. I got twisted up in the first person, third person, switcharoo. But once I was about a third of the way though, I was glad a perservered.
Excellent! Easy read but couldn't put it down.
I enjoyed the book. It was easy to read and went quickly.
Very well written, sticks with the storyline without distractions
This is the 2nd in this series. Like this one better than the other Miami series. M'ann
Very good
