Lädt ... The Ice Maidenvon Edna Buchanan
   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. 1   diana.hauser | Nov 12, 2020 |   Buchanan is a wonderful storyteller and she really can build the tension in a thriller. When a burglar is electrocuted by a booby trap Brit Montero, Miami crime-beat reporter, is stunned that the proprietor of the shop is being charged. As she investigates she find a connection between the burglar and a very old, still unsolved, rape and murder. She gets the attention of the lead detective on the Cold Case Squad (Craig Burch), but the lieutenant (K C Riley) isn’t buying it, and the surviving victim isn’t interested in talking to the detectives. But none of this deters our intrepid reporter from following the leads. As a sideline Brit spends some time getting her love life in order. It’s a page turner, finely crafted by a master. And there are a couple of surprises in store for the reader. (  )1 BookConcierge | Jun 10, 2016 | The two subplots were totally unnecessary and out of place. Since I was listening to the audio book version, I just skipped ahead. Seriously. Totally unnecessary. The unnecessary romance subplot was particularly difficult to bear because the reader (Anna Fields) didn't sound like (or make the character sound like) she went in for male company... in that way. How can you not have chemistry between two characters when you're voicing them BOTH? I loved the supporting character of Lottie, especially her 'take' on the Queen Mum and Lassie.

Edna Buchanan is an American journalist and writer best known for her crime mystery novels. She won the 1986 Pulitzer Prize for general news reporting “for her versatile and consistently excellent police beat reporting.”
Ms. Buchanan worked the police beat for 18 years at The Miami Herald and covered more crimes than most cops.
In THE ICE MAIDEN, a chance encounter with an unusually scarred corpse at Miami’s Morgue, may be the key to unlocking long-ago secrets of a sensational cold case murder mystery.
I read many of Ms. Buchanan’s mystery novels years ago, but recently stumbled upon THE ICE MAIDEN from 2002. I knew I had to read it and head down to the craziness that is Miami.
Her mysteries, police procedurals and crime novels are 1st rate - hot as the Miami sun in July. Ms. Buchanan is a wonderful author with stories very fast-paced, suspenseful, realistic and gritty. Her books and short stories are always a treat. **** (
