One of the strengths of Patricia Hall's (Dead on Arrival, etc.) superior Yorkshire mystery series is the evolving relationship between journalist Laura Ackroyd and DCI Michael Thackeray. In Deep Freeze, the pair face the greatest test of their love yet, when they both investigate the death of a teenage girl shot outside an abortion clinic.
