A great start to a new mystery series set in Alaska

Thin Ice: A Mystery

By: Paige Shelton

Rating: 5 of 5

I have read other books by Paige Shelton. Those books were more of a cozy mystery but with this book, “Thin Ice”, Ms Shelton breaks out into a suspense-filled mystery.

The book is the beginning of a new series, so while there is closure on some issues, others are just beginning to take shape.

Beth, a writer of very popular books, is fleeing. From whom, she doesn’t remember. She has a form of amnesia about the events regarding her kidnapping. All she knows is that she must get far, far away from where she lived before to feel free from the horror of having been abducted and held against her will.

She heads to Alaska to get away from it all. She doesn’t quite realize quite how remote a town she has picked, until she lands in it. Still, she is happy to be free from the shadows that had been taking over her life.

Within a few short days, a mystery arises which she feels compelled to help solve.

There are serious moments and issues in the book; however, there are moments of laughter as well. Some of the characters simply strike my funny bone, such as Beth’s mother and the librarian in her new remote home town.

I’m looking forward to reading more of this series in the future. I’m on pins and needles to find out what happened to Beth.

I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
