Loved it!

I couldn't stop reading it, it was absolutely great and parts where I couldn't read because I had errands to run I listened to the audio it was absolutely great and will continue to read the rest of the series... DCI Foster is an awesome character and I look forward to reading more. ( )

Uma história assente e onde se sente uma atmosfera fria e sombria.

"ʜᴇʀ ᴇʏᴇꜱ ᴀʀᴇ ᴡɪᴅᴇ ᴏᴘᴇɴ. ʜᴇʀ ʟɪᴘꜱ ᴘᴀʀᴛᴇᴅ ᴀꜱ ɪꜰ ᴛᴏ ꜱᴘᴇᴀᴋ. ʜᴇʀ ᴅᴇᴀᴅ ʙᴏᴅʏ ꜰʀᴏᴢᴇɴ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ɪᴄᴇ…"

A rapariga no gelo é uma jovem mulher que parecia ter a vida perfeita. Quem a quereria morta? Que segredos sombrios esconde?

A detetive Erika Foster é chamada para investigar a morte dessa mulher no Sul de Londres. Foster tinha estado anteriormente em licença profissional após a morte do seu marido, numa vigilância policial que correu horrivelmente mal.
Estará ela verdadeiramente pronta para se lançar no terreno em plena conjuntura? Este é o seu primeiro grande caso após a longa interrupção. Ela está ansiosa por provar a si própria e ao seu chefe que consegue lidar com o stress de uma investigação.

A personagem Erika Foster é resistente, mas vulnerável ao mesmo tempo. Uma detetive que nem sempre obedece às regras (causando-lhe por vezes vários dissabores). Tem aquele nível de intuição que separa os bons detetives, dos excelentes detetives. Tem aqueles instintos que lhe dizem quando algo não bate certo. Uma personagem que faz o que é preciso para concluir o caso em mãos. Não se sente intimidada, nem minimizada por aqueles acima dela, no cargo ou estatuto social.

Tem um forte grupo de investigadores com quem trabalhar, mas a sua investigação é sempre dificultada pela política e pela opinião pública. É confrontada com a burocracia; com um assassino implacável e com a família não cooperante da vítima.

À medida que Erika se aproxima da descoberta da verdade, o assassino aproxima-se de Erika, a sua coragem é definitivamente testada.
Erika começa a identificar ligações a outros homicídios. Farão sentido?

A urgência da situação, e o desespero que Erika sente para resolver o caso e colocar o assassino atrás das grades é palpável durante todo o processo.

O autor abordou temas que são muito importantes e muito relevantes - racismo; preconceito contra os imigrantes; tráfico de seres humanos. Dá também uma visão sobre como as instituições influenciam a forma como as coisas são geridas, muitas vezes de uma forma pouco positiva.
O leitor tem uma visão reveladora de como a política e a resolução de crimes lutam pela coexistência.

O livro mantém-nos a tentar adivinhar o que se passa. Os suspeitos são todos interessantes e fazem-nos duvidar. O trabalho de detetive é abordado metodicamente e embora haja algumas reviravoltas, estas ocorrem após uma sólida construção lógica. Por isso, quando julgamos ter tudo resolvido, uma boa e impressionante mudança faz com que as teorias se desmanchem.
A trama é intrigante e a sua entrega é executada por um ritmo acelerado. Os personagens secundários estão muito bem desenvolvidos. As pistas vão sendo largadas e ficamos surpresos com o inesperado enredo.

A rapariga no gelo é uma história envolvente e inquietante que atrai a atenção desde as primeiras páginas. ( )

The Girl in the Ice starts with a bang and the tension just keeps building throughout the book. It’s very well-paced and there is plenty of action. This is an excellent edge-of-your-seat crime thriller!

The plot grabbed me from the very first page. The writing flows well and is very descriptive. I was able to easily picture all of the surroundings and characters. I really felt immersed in the story.

This book has it all…. Murder, crazy old hookers, suspense, dark secrets, and plenty of plot twists. The characters were really well-thought out and developed. I really enjoyed them all and I loved how their backstories contributed to the plot.

I must say, I am LOVING these strong female leads I have been reading about lately. DCI Erika Foster is one bad ass chick! ( )
