Heart of Ice - A Triple Threat Novel

My most resent book to review through Booksneeze is Heart of Ice , A Triple Threat Novel book #3, by Lis Wiehl with April Henry.

It's labeled as "A fast-paced thriller" by Deborah Sinclair, editor in chief, Book of the Month Club and The Stephen King Library.

The story follows the three main characters from previous Triple Threat Novels, Federal Prosecutor Allison Pierce, FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges, and crime reporter Cassidy Shaw. You see into the personal life of each character, into their friendships with one another... and then of course into a series of crimes that at first glance don't seem related.

Elizabeth Avery is a beautiful women who is a master at fooling everyone... lying is second nature to her. She is a master at manipulating people, and even gets some to do the unthinkable... murder. Elizabeth has no plans on getting caught- not when she is having fun getting what she wants playing "The Game."

The Triple Threat team knows they are dealing with a dangerous sociopath and cold-blooded murderer. What they don't know is that they are already on a first-name basis with the killer.


I enjoyed reading this book, although I wish I would have read the first two books first. The writer does do a good job explaining each character and you don't feel like you are jumping into the middle of a series. The book reads well and does keep you interested. The writer includes many 'deep' topics we see on a daily basis... personal insecurities, trust and fears... as well as lose of a child, breast cancer, addictions, and various crimes. It is labeled as Christian Fiction, but it isn't heavily religious at all. One of the main characters is a christian... and one questions whether there is a God when she is faced with death. I expected more as far as that is concerned. All in All... I enjoyed the book!
