An Ice Cold Grave

I have recently become acquainted with Charlene Harris' works. I have enjoyed each and every one and hope she writes many more. The seller provided it as promised and well within the shipment window promised.

ice cold grave

I find Mrs. Harris one of the best authors I read regularly. She is excellent in her descriptions of her characters and their dialogue suites the situation perfectly. An Ice Cold Grave is one of her best efforts. Her first novel she wrote in the mystery series was a bit weak but she has improved to the point of equaling her previous vampire series or even surpassed those books - which are excellent imight add.

Great Series

I really enjoyed the Harper Connelly series and would like to see more of these characters.

Good, but one poorly timed incident

Like anyone who has read Charlaine Harris, and continues to read her books, I enjoy them a lot. One of her series that I LOVE is Sookie Stackhouse!
But about this 3rd installment in the Harper Connelly Series, which was just slightly disappointing because of what happened in the middle of the book. I won't say what that was, because it would be a huge spoiler and I won't do that to those who haven't read An Ice Cold Grave. But those who have, will probably know what I'm referring to. What happened should never have happened when it did! I felt that it was just thrown in and not thought out by the author. It really threw me off balance. If it happened towards the end of the book, that would have made more sense, because it would have flowed better with what happened at the end of the book, but NOT in the middle! If it hadn't been for that not-so-wise choice on Charlaine Harris' part, I would have given the book 5 stars.
On a lighter note: It was a good read, sans the untimely incident. As with the other books in the series there was a nice balance of annoying characters, great characters, tension, out loud laughs, etc... And the killer was a surprise, which was a surprise in itself.
