Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Clark's tone is as chipper as ever in her third Regan Reilly book (after Decked and Snagged), in which L.A. PI Regan joins her parents for a winter getaway in Aspen, Colo., and stumbles across a series of art thefts. After paintings are stolen from an Aspen vacation home, suspicion rests on the missing caretaker, ex-con and former jewel thief Eben Bean. Regan, who helped Eben get the job, believes he's innocent. Readers know that Eben has been abducted by a prison acquaintance who has come to town to steal a masterpiece that is about to be exhibited. Also on the scene is another art thief nicknamed the Coyote. Regan tries unsuccessfully to enjoy her vacation, but she can't quell her impulses to find the real thief and clear Eben. Clark, daughter of mystery doyenne Mary Higgins Clark, writes with a breezy style that, along with her brisk skiing milieu, will quickly refresh readers of this quintessential beach book. Mystery Guild main selection; Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club alternate; author tour.

From Library Journal

Clark's two previous mysteries, Decked ( LJ 7/92) and Snagged (Warner, 1993), sold well in spite of lukewarm reviews. In Iced , intrepid sleuth Regan Reilly encounters murder most foul while vacationing at a swank ski lodge.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Terrible Book, Sep 14 2004
By Booklover "bOOKLOVER" (Montreal, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Iced (Hardcover)
I couldn't wait to finish this book. The plot andthe dialogue was bad. I sped right thu the book after I read the first 45 pages. This book was the worse than any of the 3 books of hers I had read.This book should have beeen iced by the publisher before it was ever printed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Okay-I've Read Better Books But Stuck With It Anyhow, May 14 2004
By J. Kirkman "book jen" (St. Petersburg, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Iced (Hardcover)
This book was okay, but I've read better in the past though-that's for sure. It could have been more interesting.

Eben Bean had been known as a man who robbed people of their fine art or gems. He was incarcerated for 10 years in prison for getting caught. However, when he was released he was a new man that was reformed and ready to be out.

The wealthy Wood family knew they could trust Eben as their caretaker for their mansion; so they hired him on. But when painting were discovered missing, Eben got the blame, when in fact there was a whole different story altogether.

Judd and Willohema were up to no good. But Reagan Reilly the PI in the case, had trouble locating the two.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Another Winner, Mar 9 2004
By Temple Swann (Arkansas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Iced (Mass Market Paperback)
I am consistently baffled by the reviewers who would have you believe that Carol Higgins Clark is not worth reading, that she is a terrible, no-good, very bad writer. I must disagree, once again. Let us review what I've said earlier in other CHC reviews.

CHC is much like Agatha Christie inasmuch as Christie's writing was, like CHC's, formulaic and light on character development, high on plotting. CHC's plotting is ingenious. Regan Reilly is a likeable character, even if she isn't very well drawn. CHC is not trying to be James Lee Burke or Sharyn McCrumb or Sue Grafton who are very high on character development. No, CHC, I believe, doesn't want anything to take away from her story. She's telling a great one in "Iced".

In this wonderful suspense tale, Regan Reilly and her mother Nora Regan Reilly and her father Luke Reilly are all in Aspen, Colorado with some friends. They are there to enjoy the skiing and the fine dining and help Regan's friend Louis open up the Silver Mine Inn. Several valuable paintings are being swiped by who people think is Eben Bean, an ex-jewel thief. When in reality Eben has been kidnapped by the real thieves who themselves are being watched by "the Coyote", a expert art thief. There are enough twists in here to keep you guessing and enough characters so you don't get bored. Snap up a copy of CHC's "Iced", curl up under the covers at night or lounge on the couch during the day and go to Aspen with Regan.

4.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book ...
Iced by Carol Higgens Clark captured my attention from the first sentence to the last. I've never read her mother's books, so I can't compare them, nor would I want to. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not her best
It was more like "comfort food" reading. Predictable but hey.
Definitely not up to what I normally expect from her. Don't give up, try another of her books.
