If you need proof that mysteries can be written without reliance on lots of gratuitous sex or unnecessary profanity, this author provides that proof. Amateur leuth Regan Reilly comes across throughout this series as a genuinely nice person despite her somewhat privileged upbringing. In this book, she must find out who is stealing works of art from homes in Aspen dring the Christmas season. To make matters worse, the main suspect in the thievery seems to be a caretaker she recommended for the job of caring for a friend's winter home.

I thought the dialogue between the two villains seemed a little forced in spots, but this is a nice, short cozy mystery read that will make for a pleasant reading session, if not a memorable one.

This was the first Carol Higgins Clark book that I read, and I actually really enjoyed it. It was a fun mystery with a good setting. I tried other books of hers and just could not get into them.

Definitely better than the first two Regan Reilly mysteries. The dialog is a little awkward in places. But a pretty decent mystery. I'm willing to try the next book in the series.

Five fully deserved stars for Iced. I read it partially a year ago then picked it up again recently. I found myself being endeared to many of the characters in there. There are many loose threads that are kind of resolved at the end.

Regan Reilly is exactly thirty years old and has often received the favors of many a potential life partner. But this book is not a romance one. It's a characteristically old fashioned mystery. It's a full blown mystery.

Half the fun is watching Regan inch closer to the truth about the kidnapping of an ex jewel thief. Despite the title, no one dies in this jolly book. That's not a spoiler, instead it's a pointer to the atmosphere of the book. Give the latter a chance.

There is something comforting about reading Carol Higgins Clark. Pretty much the same thing every time. Three or four stories that end up being intertwined. Since each part of the story is only 6-10 pages long, the books are generally a fairly swift, incredibly light, highly enjoyable read. This book, of course, is no different.
Regan Reilly is going on vacation, with her famous author mother and funeral home director father, to Aspen. When she arrives, there have been paintings stolen (blamed on the house sitter, but in fact, stolen by "The Coyote," though another pair of art thieves is after the same paintings. Confusing, yes, still a fun read.) Regan prevails in the end.

Horrible! The book may be good, but I couldn't stand listening to this. I hate to say it, but Carol Higgins Clark should stick to writing and leave the narration to someone else. She was so difficult to listen to. I have no idea if the book would have been good had I read it -- but now I'm not even willing to try.

One of my favorites in the Regan Reilly series. This one takes place in Aspen. Having gone to high school in Basalt, I am familiar with some of the places in the book. Regan gets herself tangled in high form this time. In Aspen to celebrate the holidays, you get enmeshed in the fun of finding Eben and watching them go in circles to find him. Yet, in the end, success with the addition of finding family. Always a batch of laughter with some thrills and mystery, once is rarely disappointed.

I forgot all about this series. I haven't read one of the Regan Reilly mysteries in years. Iced was located in Aspen just around the Christmas Holiday.

Some paintings are stolen and one of the help is suspected of orchestrating the theft. He is missing and everyone assumes he left town.

Regan doesn't believe that the person who everyone suspects actually heisted the paintings because of certain things that she notices, such as; freezing food, not taking all his belongings, just little things like that.

I loved the ending and even laughed while reading the book. I am glad I read this book.

It was a cut cozy style mystery. As usual, a lot of different sub plots intertwined to come together at the very end, in almost a comical manner. I liked it.
