Center Ice. The star's place. Only it wasn't a skating star Berrien found early one morning at N'ice Skates Ice Arena. A stranger was curled up in that coveted spot, not moving, dead. Neither Berrien nor Etienne, the live-in arena manager, had the faintest idea of the man's identity.As the police began their grisley investigation more troubles surfaced when it became obvious that one of the arena's champions was missing. She was reported kidnapped, adding FBI agents to the Law Enforcement mix. A decidely upset coach from the Midwest arrived in the California town to take back "his" pair team one of whom is the missing girl.Parents, skaters and coaches are all in an uproar, lessons cancelled, rehersals for the up-coming show running overtime in short, confusion reigned. First local, then national media frenzy carried the unfolding drama to the nation.The ending is truly a "Grand Finale."AUTHOR BIO:Joan Bartlett has been an ice skater (still is as Berrien could tell you), an ice skating judge and a professional ice skating coach. She has produced, directed and choreographed numerous amateur ice skating shows, one of which is the background for N'ice Shows. She lives with her husband and her proto-type Akitador in Foster City, California.

5.0 out of 5 stars
N'ice Book,
By C. Wilcox (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nice Shows: A Berrien Gamble Ice Skating Mystery (Berrien Gamble Ice Skating Mysteries) (Paperback)
This mystery is a lot of fun for anyone interested in the world behind the scenes of amateur ice skating. Finding a dead body on the ice wasn't a great way for Berrien Gamble to start her day, and further complicates her already crunched schedule preparing for the first ice show at her rink, N'ice Skates. Unique characters and beautiful scenery round out this debut novel. It has great insight on the early stages of a skater's trek to the championships we enjoy on television. The plot is slippery as ice with a bang-up last chapter.

This review is from: Nice Shows: A Berrien Gamble Ice Skating Mystery (Berrien Gamble Ice Skating Mysteries) (Paperback)
I really enjoyed "Nice Shows." Just think, an ice-skating mystery with all the skating information correct. Wonderful! I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. I understand it is to be called "Judge Me Nottingham." Donald Jacoby, Member, United States Figure Skating Association (USFSA) Hall of Fame; and United States and North American Ice Dance Champion (1959).
