Critics Review
Praise for Out of the Ice ‘Turner is a steely and confident writer, concerned in the main part with reeling her reader in and out of suspense with a sense of concentrated exhilaration … A cinematic page-turner that’s well worth the price of admission to the movie house of fiction.’ Weekend Australian ‘a taut and tightly wound page-turner’ Marie Claire ‘Turner is in fine form, exploring silence and secrets, male and female ways of relating and exploitation and grief.’ West Australian ‘This gripping thriller exposes a dark side of human nature but reveals a newfound hope in love and family.’ Mindfood ‘Turner delivers another brilliant suspense novel … solidifying her position as one of Australia’s best thriller writers… A compelling and enormously satisfying thrill ride.’ Better Reading ‘Ann Turner dazzled us with her first novel, The Lost Swimmer. Her new book is another clever, cinematic thriller involving a body of water and an impending sense of dread … Out of the Ice is a fantastically eerie and suspenseful read.’ iBooks
