Heart of Ice by Lis Wiehl


Heart of Ice is the third book in the Triple Threat Series by Lis Wiehl.  I was disappointed when I found out it was the third in a series--and I was reading it first.  From past experience, with other authors, it's sometimes hard to follow characters, story line, etc. if it's not the first in a series.  But I can assure you that this book isn't like that.  The characters were well laid out and the story was easy to follow.

Three female friends from high school realize at their high school reunion that they all fight crime in different ways--a TV reporter, a federal prosecutor and an FBI agent.  They pool their resources, as they can, and fight crime together.  But this crime caught them unawares.  Cassidy, the TV reporter, met Elizabeth in an exercise class.  Elizabeth was the instructor.  Cassidy was drawn to her and desperately wanted to be her friend.  In fact, she introduced her friends, Nicole & Allison, to her--hoping they could all hang out together.  Elizabeth is the person with the heart of ice.  (And is revealed as that early on in the story.)  She has diabolical plans to make sure she's the only person in her boyfriend, Ian's, life.  But Ian has an ex-wife and a son whom Elizabeth has to eliminate.  The rest of the story leads from one path to another to make that happen.  Elizabeth is a pro at hiding who she really is.

There are several twists and turns in this story--but it's pretty easy to see what's coming.  For that reason alone, I give this story 4 out of 5 stars.
