Freezing Point Hits the Spot

Elizabeth Goddard's new book, Freezing Point certainly gave me chills! The romantic suspense, set in southern California, surrounds undercover agent, Jesse Mitchell, who poses as an ice sculptor. His task is to find out who is smuggling things in shipments of ice. The case becomes complicated when a new investigative reporter, Casey Wilkes, arrives at his place of business to interview him and create a human interest story based on an ice sculpting contest he enters.

Ms. Goddard weaves the details of her stories in and out of so many knots, it's hard to believe how they could ever be unraveled and tied up neatly, but she has succeeded in the past, and she succeeds in this book by Love Inspired Suspense.

This Carol Award Winner was Totally Twisted!

Mazes were one of my favorite puzzles when I was growing up. I wasn't the type to attempt one direction and then switch to another if the first didn't work. That was failure to me, so I always worked out a plan to try to win the path the first time.

Maybe that's why I never missed the introduction to the TV show in the late 70's "The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries." While the creepy music played in the background, they would all dash into a maze of hedges. Talk about creative ignition!
