About this ebook
Nele Neuhaus
Nele Neuhaus vive en la cordillera del Taunus, cerca de Frankfurt, región en la que ambienta sus novelas. Ante la dificultad de encontrar editor, decidió autopublicar sus primeras novelas, hasta que cosechó tanto éxito que la editorial alemana Ullstein apostó por ella y editó Blancanieves debe morir. A continuación relanzó, al igual que en nuestro país, los títulos anteriores de la serie, según su orden cronológico: Amigos hasta la muerte y Algunas heridas nunca se curan.El mundo de los caballos, su gran pasión junto con la escritura, le ha servido de inspiración para la novela juvenil Elena.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5One of the best new books I've read in quite a while. There are 6? or so characters, all of which are introduced in the first few pages of the books, which makes them hard to keep track of at the beginning. All of them are fairly essential, however.
Excellent mystery novel.
I guess this was translated from the author's native German? really well done.
EDIT: A warning to those I have recommended. Apparently this is part of a series, and the books have been translated out of order. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5"The Ice Queen is a character- and plot-driven mystery about revenge, power, and long-forgotten and covered up secrets from a time in German history that still affects the present." from the description.With regards to translation, I was a disappointed frequently with the "slang" chosen.When it appeared, it was stiffened in my audio version, and added nothing to the effect of the moment.There was an interesting plot beneath, but 12 discs and names that my ear had difficulty following, led me to wish it would end soon.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is an exciting (if over the top) thriller in an interesting police procedural series from Germany, but there's a problem: only some of the series is available in English, and what's available isn't in order. According to "Goodreads", there are seven novels in the series. Four are available in English. This one,"The Ice Queen, is number three: "Snow White Must Die" is number four, "Bad Wolf" number six, "I Am Your Judge" number seven. That means that the first two novels in the series are not available, and that's big weakness. The same two detectives (Pia Kirchoff and Oliver Bodenstein) are the central characters in all the novels, and their lives change over time. Missing the starting point is a bother, as is reading about later events (in "Snow White Must Die") before earlier ones (in "The Ice Queen") . It was all too easy to do, since "Snow White" was the first of the series to appear in English. True compulsives may want to avoid the series until the whole thing is available in English. Those who are less compulsive, and want a compelling read, give it a try. The story begins with the murder of an elderly gentleman believed to be a Holocaust survivor, who turns out to be something rather different: a former SS official. Our detectives are told very firmly to stay very far away from this case: strings are clearly being pulled by powerful people. But when another murder follows -- also of a former SS official -- the case can't be kept off limits. A wealthy and aristocratic family, it becomes clear, is deeply involved, and murder follows murder. Like "Snow White Must Die", this was a hard book to put down, which means that it meets my first requirement for a thriller. It's not, however, as good a book, in my view, as "Snow White Must Die", largely because the story goes so far over the top. As an aficianado of Scandi noir, I am perfectly willing to accept multiple murders, baroque murder methods, and truly outre murder motives, but this one tests the limits.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When Jossi Goldberg is found murdered, execution style in his Frankfurt home, everyone is surprised. Goldberg was an American citizen, a Holocaust survivor, well known philanthropist, and at age 92, was unlikely to have any enemies. But the autopsy uncovers something even more surprising. On Goldberg's arm is a tattoo that had been unsuccessfully covered. This is no concentration camp number though -- it is a blood type marker that was used by Hitler's SS. Was Goldberg even Jewish? But before Police Detectives Pia Kirchoff and Oliver von Bodenstein can make much progress on this murder, another body is found murdered in the same execution style. Before long, Kirchoff and Bodenstein are swamped with unsolved murders and the pressure is on to find the killers. The pace is fast and it's important to listen closely, because the plot twists keep coming. By midway through this book, you'll be hooked and find it hard to put this book down. But not only is The Ice Queen a fast paced thriller, it provides an unusual insight into the minds of Germans today regarding the Holocaust and the anti-Semitism during World War II. I found it fascinating to see how some of the characters felt disgusted by the actions of the Nazis and some of the older generation missed the glory days of the Third Reich.Nele Neuhaus is one of Germany's most popular mystery authors, and it's only recently, that her books have been translated and made available to the English market. After listening to this book, it's clear that it's not just the Swedes who have a monopoly on well-crafted, dark thrillers. A wonderful combination of character and plot-driven mystery!The audiobook was well narrated by Robert Fass. This is a challenging book to perform. There are a large number of characters and many foreign words, names and places. These were executed flawlessly. The only negative comment I had about this narration was that the characters voices were not that distinctive. There were times when I wasn't sure which person was speaking. However, there was a very large cast of characters and once the plot started really rolling, I was able to figure out who was speaking through context. Very entertaining!Note: I received a free copy of this audiobook from Audiobook Jukebox, in exchange for an honest review.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Ice Queen is the third mystery novel by Nele Neuhaus featuring detectives Pia Kirchhoff and Oliver Bodenstein. As the book opens, an old Jewish man and holocaust survivor, has been found murdered execution style with the number “11645” written in the victim’s blood. During his autopsy they discover that his body has a tattoo marking him as a member of the Nazis SS. Shortly after the first murder, two more elderly people are killed in a similar way. As Pia and Oliver hunt for the perpetrator of this crime, as well as the true identity of the victim, clues that suggest that each of these victims is not actually a survivor but a perpetrator of Nazi war crimes. The only other connection is their lifelong friendship with Vera Kaltensee, the head of a rich and well-respected local family.
The Ice Queen has some great twists that will keep readers guessing who the murderer is until the very end. People are not who they seem to be. Oliver and Pia make a great team and their camaraderie and friendship give them emotional depth that will intrigue the reader. The author does a great job describing the German setting. I felt like there were too many characters and as a result I found myself confused in some places and had to go back and reread a section. The plot was difficult to follow in some cases but I was interested enough in what was happening to keep reading. I understand the next book in the series, Snow White Must Die, is much better and I will definitely read that one.
