John Cardinal & partner Lise Delorme try to find a way through false, misleading information with confusing interference from the RCMP & CSIS. A tangled plot coincides with the tangled emotions John struggles with for Lise, his partner. The climatic end with his family and a severe ice storm combine with effective imagery. Blunt's characters keep your interest with believable traits, flaws, and vulnerabilities.

Picked up this book at the Calgary BookCrossing March meet-up. Thanks rureading for getting the next book in the series!

Journal Entry 4 by locker-monster at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Monday, May 9, 2011
The ending's a bit of a let down. You think something might happen, but nothing really does. I wonder if this plot point will come back in a later book. Cardinal is certainly less angst-y in this book but I really don't see him "struggling" with his feelings for Lise. Unless this, too, will build up over the series. Still fun to see a book set in Canada.

Released 12 yrs ago (5/14/2011 UTC) at Joshua Tree Café, Edmonton Trail in Calgary, Alberta Canada

Journal Entry 12 by crossingguardma at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Monday, September 19, 2011
Brrr it is cold in this story. Ice storm. But the beautiful descriptions remind me of those beautiful days with the horra frost.

Not a "thriller", kinda plods along. I agree with locker-monster that the ending was a bit of a let down.

None the less, I enjoy the books and will continue with the series.

Journal Entry 13 by crossingguardma at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Monday, September 19, 2011

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Enjoyed this second book in the series. It's nice to see a Canadian author in a thriller series.

Taking to the February BookCrossing meet-up at the Joshua Tree Café.

Journal Entry 19 by Crossing-Guard at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Sunday, February 12, 2012
Picked up at February's meeting. As usual I brought too many books home. Adding to my TBR pile.

Journal Entry 20 by Crossing-Guard at Calgary, Alberta Canada on Thursday, November 22, 2012
I'm with others, the ending was a bit of a dissapointment. I was all geared up for a conclusion like in the first one but then it just kind of ended. I mean we know what happened but I would have liked a little more resolution. Perhaps I am just too used to Maisie Dobbs where everything is tied up in a nice little bow...

I still enjoyed the book and am looking forward to reading the next one in the series.
