Book Description:
The clues for a close-to-the-heart missing person’s case heat up when Chris Matheson starts chipping away at the ice on the cold case.
When Sandy Lipton and her unborn child disappear, the court of public opinion finds young Chris Matheson guilty. Decades later, the retired FBI agent returns home to discover that the cloud of suspicion cast over him and his family has never lifted. With the help of a team of fellow retired law enforcement officers, each a specialist in their own field of investigation, Chris Matheson starts chipping away at the ice on this cold case to uncover what had happened to Sandy and her baby and the clues are getting hot!
The very beginning of the story had me hooked right away. I tried the entire time to solve the cold case myself and didn't come close. Ice kept me on my toes and just when I thought I had it solved, it turned or twisted and left me wanting more.
Chris Matheson left town after school and ended up in with the FBI. After the death of his wife, he and his 3 daughters move back home to his mother's house. Upon arriving at home, everyone starts talking about the past and Chris' involvement with his past girlfriend and her baby disappearance.
Chris' mother, Doris, urges him to join a book club of retired enforcement/judges/lawyers type called the Geezer Squad. He finds out all to quickly that reading books has nothing to do with this club. Doris urges him to adopt a police dog, Sterling. I absolutely loved Doris and Sterling.
His ex-boss at the FBI is on bed rest and asks him to help with a case she is working too. With the Geezer Squad's help, his mother's help, his ex-boss and Sterling, he is able to solve both cases.
The characters in Ice are so realistic, they seem to jump off the pages. I truly enjoyed Lauren Carr's firsts book in the Cold Case Files series, Ice.
