Alina Adams, if you remember, wowed us with Annie’s Wild Ride in 1998 then seemed to drop off the earth. She has since published a number of non-fiction titles on figure skating and Murder on Ice is the first book of a new series to feature amateur sleuth Rebecca "Bex" Levy, a researcher for a 24-hour skating network who has featuring overworked television skating researcher Bex Levy, who has three days to find out who killed the Italian judge who's ordinal gave the World Championship title to the Russian diva, Xenia Trubin, over America's sweetheart and pre-competition favourite, Erin Simpson..
It’s a tough, tough world, that of figure skating…
Naturally, as a result of jetting off every few days to yet another time-and-strain-of-flu zone, by the time the World Championships rolled around, everyone from skater to entourage to media hack, was exhausted… dead-tired from eight months of globe-trotting and eating strange, greasy foods and sleeping in strange, greasy beds and bathing in strange showers with drains that somehow seemed to be perennially clogged. Everyone, as a result, was operating on a very, very short fuse. That was why, in only ten days of competition, they'd already seen eleven hysterical melt-downs, eight formal complaints about biased judging, seven counter-complaints about biased refereeing, five screaming matches, four out and out fist-fights, two reporters getting their credentials pulled, and one arrest (disturbing the peace; Belgium's ice-dancer decided to celebrate his bronze medal win by doing a naked Yankee Polka on the roof). And this was all even before the Italian judge turned up dead. |
