Frozen Lives

The Coroner's Daughter Mysteries, Book 4

By: Jennifer Graeser Dornbush

Narrated by: Sophie Amoss

Dr. Emily Hartford is back in Frozen Lives, the next thrilling mystery from Jennifer Graeser Dornbush.

Chicago surgeon Emily Hartford has never quite shaken off the dust of her hometown in Michigan. She may be a professional success and have a princely boyfriend in the Windy City, but she can’t seem to let go of being “the coroner’s daughter” from Freeport.

Once again, she finds herself pulled back to her hometown when Jeremiah—the eleven-year-old son of her best friend, Jo—goes missing on the frigid shores of Lake Michigan.

To everyone’s relief, Jeremiah turns up days later, alive and unharmed. But tensions remain high, and suspicions of every sort continue to grow. Jeremiah’s account of his abduction doesn’t add up, and Emily worries about Jo’s unraveling marriage. Jeremiah’s recovery, it turns out, is not the end of their terrifying tale. It’s just the beginning …

For moving among them is a devious, malevolent force. Sowing panic while seeking to fulfill his own twisted needs, this wolf in sheep’s clothing leaves a trail of rack and ruin, heedless of the damage in his wake … and the bodies he leaves behind.

Emily solidifies her role as the coroner’s daughter when she puzzles out this madman’s chilling machinations. Risking everything dear to her, Emily is determined to go the icy distance and end his killing spree.

The storyline was very good.

I like the author’s books and look forward to the next book. Nick is back.

Great book

Best book I’ve “read” in a long time… The ending has got me already wishing for next book in this series!!! Narration was spot on!!

I need another book to this series!

I couldn’t stop listening. The series kept my attention and I didn’t want it to stop. I absolutely love the story lines. Great narrator and I’m happy it was the same person for the full series

The abduction of Emily’s best friend

Like: increased character development of Emily’s home town friends
Dislike: The relationship between Emily and Brandon
The lack of detail given in Emily’s work as a coroner!

Good continuation of series

Good continuation of the series. Mystery and people working through their issues.
Being a native Michigander, I was amazed they could get a yacht out into the Lake in February. Icebreakers have to be used in the Lake in the winter months. I don’t know how many small marinas are kept open. That through me out of the story. Same for standing on Foster Beach in February without being all wrapped up would very cold.
