Ice Cold (Rizzoli & Isles, #8)
by Tess Gerritsen (Goodreads Author)

I have read and enjoyed several of Ms. Gerritsen's Rizzoli and Isles books, so when I saw the audiobook of this one I was eager to listen. And although I thought Ms. Eby did a fine job with the narration, I was rather disappointed in the book itself. It started off great and I quickly became caught up in the story. I liked that the novel took Maura out of her familiar territory and that her impulsive decision plunges her into a terrifying situation. But when the plot twisted away from that story and picked up another one, it was disorienting. By the time the author had thrown in her third or fourth plot twist, I was losing interest. It's almost as if the author couldn't figure out a storyline to carry the entire plot, so she started adding in more and more elements. The book jumps from plot point to plot point, leaving characters littered along the way, and the author never quite manages to bring all the storylines together. Ultimately, the story was just too uneven for me. I like the recurring characters that the author has created in this series, but I think she has written better stories than this--and I look forward to better stories in the future.
