I enjoyed this book.  It is a standard mystery, but with some different hooks.  The main character, Hunter, is a Canadian cop turned long-haul trucker.  The body is found frozen solid.  The suspects, friends of Hunter, are newly weds in love, but she has a questionable past.  There are the usual bits of drugs, guns, stake outs, close calls, etc.I liked Hunter because he is a decent man.  So often detectives are as shady as the characters they are looking for.  There are some humor moments, as well, especially with El, the dispatcher, but they are not silly to detract from the intrigue.Parts of the story seemed to drag a little, but for the most part it moved nicely and kept me involved.  The characters were interesting, and different enough to make them worth reading about.  It is not a great book, but it is a good way to spend a few hours.I received a free copy of the book in exchange for writing a review.
