The descriptions of Mackinac Island in winter made me want to get an extra sweater to put on.  Brrr...  It does sound like a lovely place to visit in the summer, though.  This may be a mystery but it's also a sweet romance.  Mac is as stalwart as any hero but he's also a man who can wait.  When Charlotte rebuffs him because she's afraid she'll be hurt, he backs off, giving her space and time until she can admit she's falling for him.  Charlotte's not a shrinking violet or a wimp though, in spite of her healing heart and she soon realizes she's found in Mac a man who's worth three of her fickle fiancée.  Aunt Bess puts the lie to the idea that a woman over fifty can't find a man, though she does seem to have trouble holding them or attracting the right type.The mystery is almost as sweet a the romance, in that there's little graphic violence though a tremendous amount of it is done.  That's not to say the story is dull, for a lot goes on in a few pages and it doesn't detract from the plot a bit.  The Ice Bridge is a love story about a young woman reaching out and a man taking her hand.  It's also a story of friendship and what that means to the three women involved.  Thirdly, it's a mystery, filled with possible ghosts, a lost will, and a villain who's just crazy enough to believe he has the right to kill anyone who gets in his way.An enjoyable read, as always, from Katheryn Meyer Griffith.This novel was supplied by the author and no remuneration was involved in the writing of this review.
