True crime that focuses on the victims and not the perpetrator.
Well written and it gives a great view on these horrific events.

It's not a horrible book but I think the title is deceiving. There is nothing about Ice and Bones and when it states tracking a serial killer there really isn't any of that either except for a few pages AND Joshua Wade was only convicted of one murder. I think the author wanted this book to be grander that was it is. Without the hook and with out the information to back it up. There are really only two murders talked about in detail, one is Della Brown (who Joshua was never proven to be involved in except by others that he supposedly talked to) and then he was convicted on the murder of Mindy Schloss but he only pled guilty so he wouldn't have to go to trial and face the death penalty. I expected this book to be about the chase of Joshua Wade and if he is a serial killer where are the others? Just felt unfinished and lacking. I feel really bad for these families I just don't think that this author did them justice.

I didn't read this book through the end, because the endless dialogue became a bit too much, especially with all the raw words (swearing) of the criminal and his friends who were wearing a recording device to get him to admit to the murder(s). The writing was good. I did skip to the end, because I wanted to know the final outcome of the victim's families and the murder. What I found annoying, however, is that the author is obviously not from Alaska--because he included a footnote about Mountain View that indicated that it is a part of Anchorage that is "north of the airport". This is incorrect. It is north of Merrill Field, which is where small airplanes fly in and out. But that is not the same as Anchorage International Airport. Mountain View is north east of the airport. Also, at one point, someone referred to "soda", and "dipping the state". These are terms that are not common in Alaska. An Alaskan would say "pop" for "soda"; and "going outside" for leaving Alaska. But these kids were in Spenard, which isn't the best neighborhood, so what do I know? Maybe the dialogue was accurate. My suggestion is that the author have his book proofread by a "local" next time he writes about an area he hasn't lived in for a long time. Spending a few months in a bed-and-breakfast doesn't count.
