IT HAS BEEN A BRUTALLY COLD WINTER in the New Hampshire coastal town of Rye Harbor, leaving drifts of sea water frozen solid in the salt marsh. Finally, the weather warms enough for the ice to begin to break up and float out to sea. That's when a woman's body is found under a slab of ice left by the outgoing tide. Max, the feisty redheaded bartender at Ben's Place, recognizes that the body in the ice is her aunt's partner. This triggers a series of events that will eventually threaten Max's life as well. It is up to her best friend, Jack Beale, to unravel the mystery.
My husband and I both loved this book.I bought this book in November 2009(signed by the author) and after sharing it with my husband have lent it to several friends and family members.No one has been disappointed. I have ordered the second book and eagerly await its arrival. If you like Anita Shreve and Linda Greenlaw ,you will love KD Mason.

i was having lunch at Saunders on Rye Harbor and this book was for sale. The author was also there and sat at our table to sign the book. I read it over the 4th of July weekend and i loved it. I couldn't put it down. I am anxiously awaiting his second book which should be out in the next few weeks. I will be buying it right away Patty
The torch may have been passed

K.D. Mason has woven together wonderfully a realistic murder mystery and a touching love story. The events are exciting and the characters understandable as they race through the action and the drama. With the sad passing of Robert B. Parker the torch may have been passed to this new voice from the backstreets of New England. I eagerly await Mr. Mason's next tale of suspense and mystery!
Enjoyable Read

Totally enjoyed Mason's first book. Couldn't put the book down. Looking forward to book 2 and more.
A gem for a first novel!

This book is a must read for anyone who grew up on, enjoys, or just loves the seacoast. D.K. Mason makes the seacoast come alive in this first novel! It is well written and keeps you guessing throughout... I could not put this book down! Anxiously awaiting Mason's second novel. It will be out just in time for summer on the New Hampshire coast!
