Ice Cold by Tess Gerritsen

Medical examiner Maura Isles is in Wyoming for a medical conference when a group of friends invite her on a skiing trip. Stranded in a storm, they stumble upon a deserted town in a mountain valley. No phone service, no electricity, no one knowing where they were, the small group prepare to either wait out the storm or try to get some help. Days later, Maura's friend Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli receives word that Mara's burned body has been found at the scene of a vehicle accident. Jane, struggling for answers as to why this happened, persists in investigating her disappearance. This reader found Ice Cold an intriguing, suspenseful book, hard to put down. A great read.
