The queen of medical thrillers…Tess Gerritsen is back and in better form then ever with her latest novel, Ice Cold. I was spellbound but this book. You would have had to rip it from my cold, dead hands as I literally had a hard time putting it down. I finished it in one day. My only issue was that I found the story line involving Maura to be much more interesting then Jane trying to figure out what had happened to Maura. The intensity would fizzle a bit when the story line would switch back to Jane. Though, it was great to see Jane in action again. She is as tough as before. Ice Cold left me scorching, hot for more!
