See all formats and editions

All injured cop Claire Beckett wants is to clear her name and get her job back.

After being shot in the line of duty, the detective constable is recovering in cottage country, along with her friend’s dog, Kojak. But it’s more than a vacation. Much more.

The death of a look-alike friend brings danger right to the front door of Claire’s quaint log cabin. And, the picturesque village of Falcon Lake serves up murder, kidnapping, a mysterious new neighbor, and a blizzard of clues and suspects.
Claire has to face facts. She has no badge, no gun, and no backup. But she’s right in the path of a killer. All she knows how to do is act like a cop and investigate.
Her neighbor is newcomer Miles Gallagher. He’s distant and as chilly as the winter weather. But helping Claire stay alive and stop a killer may thaw his heart.
Meanwhile things aren’t adding up for Claire at work. The tragedy of her boss’s ambush, where she was injured, is being laid at her doorstep. How can she clear her name and get back to work?
Frozen Fear is Book 1 of the Murder In Season cozy mystery trilogy.
This fast-paced cozy mystery has lots of action but no graphic violence, sex or swearing.

I love writing every day and the result so far is four mystery series, and counting. I’ve been retired from teaching for a couple of years, and am totally immersed in my new career as a mystery writer. I hope you enjoy the results!

New in Spring 2023! The Elk Ridge Murder Mysteries follow Inspector Hilary Casgrain in a sensational new crime fiction series! It's a spinoff from my most popular books, the Port Alma Murder Mysteries.

The longer Poodle Versus… series is a reader favorite. Small-town action, zany characters, and a Nasty Small Poodle will capture your heart in these cozy mysteries.

The Murder In Season trilogy features injured detective constable Claire Beckett.

The Free Prequels to all my series are available on my website, AnneShillolo.com.

You can find me on Facebook as Anne Shillolo Writer.

Sub-Zero Winter Cozy Mystery

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2023

This is the first in a trilogy. In this episode, bad guys create havoc in a small Canadian town. Our heroine is in their crosshairs and she wants to know why. Add in a wonderful dog and it is a great story. The mystery part is solid! The cozy part is what I prefer, just a clean story with no sex, gore, bad language, or serious violence. It is not the kind of cozy that goes overboard about food, fashion, hobbies, or any of the other tiresome things that cozy authors think we love.

There was a lot going on in this story with a couple different threads to follow. Most were tied up in this story with one possibly ongoing through the series.

Story is interesting, but some of the plots are unanswered. Unless you are planning to buy all the books in this series, you will be left with a lot of unanswered questions.

This is a great crime mystery book! I loved all the characters and wanted them to succeed in solving the mystery that rumbled into their lives. The dialogue was engaging and the action leading to a conclusion was exhilarating! I look forward to reading the rest of the trilogy.

Great first book of the series

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2021

Anne Shillolo is a new author to me. I really enjoyed this book. The prognostic, Claire, a cop on disciplinary leave, goes to Falcon Lake where her grandfather's cabin is. That action starts from there. The story does its twists and turns. The car chase was a bit of a surprise. Going to have to read the next book because I want to know how Claire does on her disciplinary hearing.

I volunteered a honest review in exchange for an ARC copy of this book.

Claire might be on medical leave and worried about whether she will be returning to her job as a detective but it doesn't stop her from trying to solve a murder mystery. Lots of great action!

Weak plot

Reviewed in India on September 30, 2022

I stopped reading after chapter 8 because by then I had encountered two weaknesses in the plot/writing. I found it to be implausible that the waitress would ring up our protagonist of all people to give her a ride home. The waitress would have known that the protagonist left 15 minutes before, and it being a small town, the chances of her already having reached home were more than 90%. The waitress, beingna good friend of our heroine, wouldn't want to inconvenience her, right? She could have asked anyone else for help too! I thought it was a far-fetched way to get our heroine to discover a murder. A better way to get her involved could have been to get her to the restaurant to pick a scarf or her sketchbook that she might have forgotten there in a hurry.

Onto the second weakness, our protagonist is a detecive constable, for god's sake. Would you really believe it that she would look at a wrecked home and jump to conclusions and get carried away, instead of looking at evidence? She didn't think of the tire marks left in the snow (the neighbour she accused of the wreckage would have simply walked up, not needing to drive to the very next house). Our trained police woman didn't think of collecting finger impressions with whatever hack she could use. Instead, she conducted herself as any regular civilian would. And that's what I found to be unbelievable.

All this happened till chapter 7, and in chapter 8, she went on spewing anger towards the attractive but cold neighbour she had hastily accused. And that's when I realised that this book was going to go on and on based on these two lame points - a farfetched involvement in a murder and a hasty misunderstanding.

So, I am not going to read any more of this book, this series or this author.
