Totengrund

I won Ice Cold as a first reads book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, whose twists and turns kept me reading and flipping through the pages. As many of other reviewers have mentioned, this wasn't the best introduction to Jane and Maura, or other supporting characters. I also felt that the Maryland shell company plot line wasn't very well-developed or discussed.

At times, Gerritsen's writing seems stilted with too much dialogue, lacking in substance. However, I really enjoyed the book and will probably pick up other books from this series. I'm also interested to see what TNT does with the series, particularly since I loved Sasha Alexander in NCIS.
