Iced (Regan Reilly Mystery #3)
Solving A Crime at A Ski Resort can be All Downhill! P.I. Regan Reilly has high hopes for her Aspen vacation. But a mystery soon has the chic detective snooping rather than skiing. Million-dollar paintings have been disappearing, and an old friend of Regan's-a folksy ex-con named Eben Bean-has vanished too. Everyone except Regan believes Eben has gone bad...again. Her hunt...more

ok for YA. Fun, fast.
This is what I think about Carol Higgins Clark: Her plots are great. Her characters are quirky or smart alecks or self-obsessed, but not well rounded. There is plenty of action, but no drama, nothing tense, emotional, and nobody that I really care about. Regan Reilly (the private investigator star of this series) is arrogant and annoying. Carol does have some writing potential, but she is NOT her mother. If you want to read a mystery that will have lots of characters that yo...more

If you need proof that mysteries can be written without reliance on lots of gratuitous sex or unnecessary profanity, this author provides that proof. Amateur leuth Regan Reilly comes across throughout this series as a genuinely nice person despite her somewhat privileged upbringing. In this book, she must find out who is stealing works of art from homes in Aspen dring the Christmas season. To make matters worse, the main suspect in the thievery seems to be a caretaker she recommended for the job...more
There is something comforting about reading Carol Higgins Clark. Pretty much the same thing every time. Three or four stories that end up being intertwined. Since each part of the story is only 6-10 pages long, the books are generally a fairly swift, incredibly light, highly enjoyable read. This book, of course, is no different.

I do not think I have ever read one of Carol Higgins Clark's books before. If I did, it was long ago. I used to be a fan of Mary Higgins Clark, her mother, until I overdosed on her books and moved onto other authors.
Yet, when a challenge required a one-word title, I decided to give Carol Higgins Clark a try. Pleasant surprise. She tells a really good tale. I will read more of her books, I am sure.

I always enjoy a story by this author. Her tales are filled with fun and a slight touch of humor, even in her most serious books.
This is another book based on Private Investigator Regan Reilly. She finally decides to take a much-needed vacation, only to once again be caught up in a mystery. Of course, everyone thinks one particular person has stolen a display of priceless paintings … except Regan.

This is book #3 in this series and while I enjoyed the first two, this one just left me cold. This is a cozy mystery so I knew not to expect hard-hitting crime, but still, there should be something that felt dangerous or thrilling. There just wasn't. This book was awkward and felt amateurish at times. There were very cheesy jokes, cheesy dialogue and even a cheesy plot. As a reader, you are aware the whole time that this is a book; none of it felt remotely real.

Horrible! The book may be good, but I couldn't stand listening to this. I hate to say it, but Carol Higgins Clark should stick to writing and leave the narration to someone else. She was so difficult to listen to. I have no idea if the book would have been good had I read it -- but now I'm not even willing to try.
This has been a good and quick read. I like the plot, characters and the way it has been put together.
This is a good clean book with a mystery/suspense plot that I enjoyed and I think I can recommend this book to our 9 year old daughter. The plot is clean, refreshing and even has a couple good twists to it.
I am really starting to like Regan Rielly. I have one more to read and may start looking for others.

Typical Regan Reilly, LA private investigator, mystery. There's the usual humor and several intertwined plots in which everything comes together at the end. This mystery involves art thieves in Aspen during ski season, stolen art, missing people, and the opening of a new restaurant.
Carol Higgins Clark provides an enjoyable adventure as Regan Reilly goes on vacation in Aspen, Colorado. Filled with humor and mystery you will find the characters creditable. This is a book for all ages and a nice read.
I am enjoying catching up on the early mysteries in the Regan Reilly series. I learned about the history of Aspen, Colorado while enjoying a lively story with charming and quirly characters. Very satisfying ending with at least two surprises that I did not see coming.
First time I jabe read A mustery novel by this author. It is the kind of book I like to read when I feel in an escapist mood. I'll be going to the library tomorrow abs borrow a fewore in this series for the fun of it.
This Regan Reilly was definitely not as good as Snagged but was much better than Decked. Its an easy read (read it in a day) but parts failed to keep my attention. It can only get better from here

I read all of the Regan Riley books.
I enjoy the Regan Riley series. They are funny light-hearted reads. These books always have such quircky characters. The mystery is pretty easy to figure out, but they are enjoyable.
I listened to this one on a long drive to a conference. It was a nice change from the radio or at least the static that I got while in mountain passes.
It is just okay - I think I read it when I was much, much younger and enjoyed it a lot more. It is definitely a good choice for a young adult transitioning into adult mysteries.

Iced will melt any qualms you may have about mysteries! As I am reading Carol Higgins Clark's Regan Reilly books in order I find they keep getting better. Humor, danger, romance (between characters you would not expect!) and many hidden twists come together in the telling of this tale.

Definitely better than the first two Regan Reilly mysteries. The dialog is a little awkward in places. But a pretty decent mystery. I'm willing to try the next book in the series.
A nice mystery taking place in Aspen Colorado.
Lots of interesting characters with some interesting twists and turns!

The Good: Kept me interested, albeit not a "page turner". Good surprise ending. Wish I had heated towel racks!
The Bad: Unbelievable.
The Ugly: Nothing ugly.

PI Regan Reilly goes to Aspen on a vacation but ends up in a plot involving art thieves and murderers.
It was just OK all the way through, but the ending was just stupid - really wasted my time on this one.
Good read, with mystery & a little humor. Nice Cozy Mystery. Love Carol Higgins Clark & Mary Higgins-Clark.
Iced by Carol Higgins Clark is a fun mystery. It is a quick light read and entertaining.
Got this as an audio book. Good mystery/detective work. Reading would have been better though to sort out characters
3 and a half. I read this on my trip home from Utah. Cute mystery as expected--nothing earth-shattering.
This book was horribleThe ending leaves much to be desired...and is just bad!
Typical Carol Higgins Clark novel. It gets cheesy at times but it's alright.

Hokey dialogue but a quick, light read. Like candy for your brain.
This is a cute story with quirky villains and a light hearted "whodunnit". I was a little surprized at the secret villain because I suspected a few others.
