" Walters is a gifted writer, and the characters in this book were certainly compelling, but the storyline was a little too creepy for me. After reading The Ice House, I have (again) come to the inescapable conclusion that I need to stick with the "cozy mystery" genre. Yes, dead bodies abound in the cozies, but the mystery is usually solved comfortably over a cup of tea. Predictable, you say? Yep, that's for me. "
