It’s the dead of winter in Minnesota, and Shay O’Hanlon can’t wait to close up her coffee shop and get out of town with her girlfriend, Minneapolis cop JT Bordeaux. But when she receives a call informing her that her dad is missing, Shay’s plans for a romantic getaway are put on ice. Figuring her dad is on one of his periodic benders, Shay is shocked to learn that his gun has been used in a murder. With the dead man found in a giant ice cube unable to provide any answers, Shay and her quirky friends are bound and deter- mined to find her father—and the real killer—before the trail turns cold. Praise: "Jessie Chandler's latest Shay O'Hanlon adventure is as sharp as a frigid winter day. A body in a block of ice meant for the Winter Carnival Ice Palace is just the beginning of this wild luge ride as Shay sorts through the clues to clear her father of murder. Like a luge, there are twists and turns throughout, but Jessie saves the bigest twist for (quite literally) the last few seconds. Highly recommended.
