Blurb:
Something is causing people to freeze to death in Florida during
ninety-degree weather. Ancient Indian lore holds the answer to these
mysterious medical aberrations. A newly constructed Florida male prison sits
on ancient hallowed grounds called Forbidden Hill. Soon after the prison
opens, two male inmates freeze to death without exposure to frigid
temperatures. John Randall, a widowed prison doctor, meets Lena Windmaker, a
single, off-duty sheriff detective at a local library. Their initial
plutonic relationship soon kindles into a more amorous one. They hide a
personal secret that could bring them together or destroy them. They uncover
articles in local, post-Civil war newspapers describing residence succumbing
to Frozen Death. John and Lena race to discover a cause before it chooses
other victims
Review:
Frozen Death takes place in and around the Timucua State Correctional Institute. The first few chapters grab you and keep you guessing as to the reason why prisoners are dying suddenly. As the story goes on, it follows Dr. John Randall from being the prison physician, to being an investigator to an archeologist of sorts. He wears many different hats in this book and may cause the reader to wonder as to the reasoning. Throw in a beautiful Native American law enforcement officer, and the plot thickens. Overall, the story was intriguing but not riveting. The central theme held such promise but I felt a little let down that there weren’t more twists and turns throughout. The ending was unexpected, but I felt like the author rushed to include so much information in the last chapter that it made the reveal lose some of its punch.
