Good characters with one being a serial killer
Good book with interesting characters and good plot line. It also takes you into the mind of a serial killer.

'Ice Princess' by prolific author Ralph Griffith is a crime novel set amid the lush, tropical Honolulu scene. He has created a strong sense of time and place.
The narrative is based around a young man's passion, and his torn and twisted emotions of unrequited love. A journey that tips the balance of his mind, slowly developing into madness; and ultimately murder.
Ralph has woven a tense, grisly, compelling story. A dark psychological drama that evolves at pace, and won't let you go.
This book has it all!

Audio-book was okay. Recommend reading instead of listening as virtual narration isn't always the greatest. There was a lot of side stuff going on in this that didn't need to be there. The bunker kids could have just been mentioned in the one part that crosses with the main story

Held my attention, and it had my kind of humor.
