"""Lee Clark has hit her stride with this book. Iced: A Matthew Paine Mystery is the fifth book in the Matthew Paine Mysteries and is the best yet. This novel brings in all the favorite characters from her earlier books, has a great plot, good pacing, tension in all the right places, and kept me guessing. Just what I want in a good mystery. I love the friendship between Matthew Paine, the physician, and Danbury the Detective. They make a good crime-solving team with each of them bringing special skills to the table to solve murder investigations. There are multiple murders in this one, but common threads are found. The setting at the strip club was interesting, as well as the interactions with the homeless and the way both Matthew and Danbury reach out to help those in need. I liked getting to know more about Penn, Danbury's girlfriend. I've followed this series from the start and watched the author grow and become more confident. The writing as well as the characters have grown and this book showcases the maturity. I look forward to the next Matthew Paine adventure."" -Goodreads 5 star recommendation ""Iced is the latest in Lee Clark's Matthew Paine series. Iced takes you in all kinds of directions as Mathew, a small town family doctor, and Detective Danbury attempt to solve their latest crime mystery together. But it's never just one crime. And it's never just one mystery! Each book in the series has further developed the main characters and their relationships with each other. With Iced, it feels as if you are right there in the fictional town of Peak, NC, eating at the Peak's Eats Diner. When a body, a frozen body, is found floating in the pool of a house while the family is away on a long vacation, Matthew and Danbury begin the search for the killer and they take you along for the ride. How did the body get there, why is it frozen, and how can the victim's strikingly blue eyes still be so vibrant that long after her death? Another well written story that you will have trouble putting down."" -BookBub Recommendation (5 stars) ""I'm a sucker for a cat and mouse thriller but this one has a twist. Well written, fast paced. and characters are so well developed, you'll feel as though you were part of the book. Loved every twist, held my breath throughout. Well worth reading again."" -Bookfunnel 5 star recommendation"
