A great read, July 5 2004
This review is from: Murder On Ice (Paperback)
This book should please every fan of figure skating. Bex Levy, skating reasercher for TV broadcaster 24/7 uncovers a tricky murder mystery using her powers of conversational crime fighting and meeting everyone from skating mothers to perky teenagers to eccentric coaches and skating-struck middle aged men along the way. I definitely recommend this hilarious book.

Murder mystery with a figure skating twist, May 15 2004
This review is from: Murder On Ice (Paperback)
Murder on Ice by Alina Adams is a fabnlous book! It offers an accurate and humorous account of the figure skating world, with a storyline being a twist of the 2002 Olympics. Bex Levy is a figure skating researcher. She works 20 hour days, and knows all the ins and outs of the figure skating world. When the Russian beats the American at the world championships, the blame is pinned on the Italian judge for not voting with the western block. When the Italian judge is found dead the next day, Bex is ordered by her boss the find the killer. Murder on ice is a humerous, unique book that is recommended for figure skating fans of all ages, or for someone who just wants to read a great mystery.

Wheee! What fun., Mar 17 2004
This review is from: Murder On Ice (Paperback)
What a funny, true picture of high stakes, international figure skating competitions. As a skater, coach and amateur ice show producer myself, as a volunteer at too many competitions to mention, I could feel the tension rise as the final scenes were played out. The descriptions of the various characters involved in the plot are wonderfully close to the real thing. I am looking forward to the next book in the series, "Missing on Ice." In the meantime, there are two other good murder mysteries about ice skating. These two, "Nice Shows" and "Judge Me Nottingham," portray the skaters and coaches during the initial hard work and planning before the skaters reach national and international competition levels. And by the way, I'm the author of these two books!
