A scientist nobody liked has been murdered on the Arctic ice . . .
'A brilliant modern cosy.' Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants
'Fun ahoy!' Orlando Murrin, author of Knife Skills for Beginners
'How can something so damn cold be so damn cosy?' Oskar Jensen, author of Helle and Death
'Clever, quirky and irresistibly fun.' Jessica Bull, author of Jane Austen Investigates
Meet the Blanchard twins:
Rose is practical, sharp, and protective. Specialty: manta rays.
Finn is too sweet and kind for his own good. Specialty: sharks.
Rose and Finn are looking for sharks on the sea bed. When they return to their ship, the Dauphin, they make a terrible discovery: their colleague has been murdered on the ice - with a harpoon that should never have been there. Everyone else on the luxury cruise ship - the wealthy passengers, the researchers hard at work, the tight-knit crew and their strangely calm Captain - were all aboard at the time, so they are all under suspicion. Rose and Finn were the only two at sea, and they're miles from anywhere, so it's up to them to investigate.
On scientific problems, they are a brilliant team - but can the Blanchard twins solve a murder?
'Crisp and cosy . . . like Murder She Wrote in the Arctic with sharks!!!' Kitty Murphy, author of Death in Heels

Praise for this book
"Clever, quirky and irresistibly fun, I adored my killer cruise with R O Thorp's Blanchard twins in Death on Ice. But I swear I'm never ever getting into a two-person submarine, it sounds even more terrifying than a trip to the arctic with a boatload of murder suspects!" - Jessica Bull
"With Death on Ice, Thorp serves up a gloriously silly slice of escapism. The similes pile up as high as the body count, and both are deeply satisfying. Only one mystery remains - how can something so damn cold be so damn cosy?" - Oskar Jensen
"Death on Ice is a brilliant modern cosy, in the classic detective fiction style. Wonderfully engaging and well drawn characters, a complex plot and a highly original setting. R O Thorp's writing isn't just confident and assured, Death on Ice is pure class from start to finish." - Ian Moore
"Crisp and cosy, a murder mystery set on the Arctic ice with all the zest of Christie's Death on the Nile! It's like Murder She Wrote in the Arctic with sharks!!!" - Kitty Murphy
"Fun ahoy! A zany cast of characters on an Arctic adventure make for a glittering debut." - Orlando Murrin
