THE TIMES BOOK CLUB STAR PICK
A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE MONTH
THE WORLD'S TOUGHEST REALITY SHOW.
A PRIZE WORTH KILLING FOR...
Frozen Out is set to be a TV sensation. On a small ship off the coast of Greenland, six contestants will push themselves to breaking point for a £100,000 prize. The show is Tori Matsuka's baby. After years working her way up the ladder, she's finally launching her own production company and everything is riding on the show. For camerawoman Dee, it's a chance to start again after the tragedy that tanked her undercover journalism career.
But as errors and mishaps mount on set, tempers among the cast and crew start to fray. And when one of the contestants is found dead, only Dee realises that the death wasn't natural—and from what she's seen from behind the camera, it won't be the last. As the Arctic ice closes in and all chance of escape is cut off, one thing becomes clear: although the world outside wants them dead, it's the secrets inside the ship that might cost them their lives...
Packed with suspense from the first page to the last, Freeze is a must-read for fans of Shiver, The Sanatorium and One By One. This thriller isn't just chilling: it's sub-zero.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Freeze by Kate Simants is praised for its chilling, claustrophobic atmosphere and thrilling plot. The novel is set against the backdrop of a reality TV show in the Arctic, bringing modern twists to a traditional crime story. The tense narrative is enhanced by rich characterisation, fast pacing, and unexpected turns, making it a highly recommended read for crime and thriller enthusiasts.
