Freeze Summary

Freeze: the most chilling locked room thriller of 2023 by Kate Simants

* THE TIMES BOOK CLUB STAR PICK * * A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE MONTH * 'Turns a traditional crime plot to very modern effect' - SUNDAY TIMES 'Brilliant. Atmospheric and incredibly tense' - HARRIET TYCE 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 GBP100,000 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. 'Terrifically entertaining' - ALLIE REYNOLDS 'The perfect icy read' - JO SPAIN

Freeze Reviews

Don't be fooled by the title - this murder mystery is sizzling hot. Brimming with stone cold secrets, shocking lies and twists that hit like an arctic winter. Simants has sculpted a breathtaking thriller out of pure ice -- Janice Hallett, author of THE APPEAL
Superb. Utterly claustrophobic and chilling, the perfect icy read -- Jo Spain, author of DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS
Simants uses her knowledge of the industry to spill the secrets of a reality TV show set in the Arctic. The characters are deliciously over-the-top and bicker constantly. When it turns out there's a killer on board, Simants turns a traditional crime plot to very modern effect * Sunday Times *
This novel has a lot to offer. It moves fast, the tension is high and the two main characters are likeable in their different ways * Literary Review *
Brilliant - creepily atmospheric and incredibly tense. The characterisation is fantastic and it cuts as cold as the Arctic in which it's set. Highly recommended -- Harriet Tyce, author of BLOOD ORANGE
Packed with chills and spills, Freeze is a terrifically entertaining thriller with a unique and fascinating setting -- Allie Reynolds, author of SHIVER
This book has everything - weather that can kill you, an under-equipped ship stuck in a storm, a cast of people who all have secrets and element of their past they don't want revealed. I loved it -- Catherine Cooper, author of THE CHATEAU
Plenty of drama, plenty of tension, plenty of twists... The realism and authenticity of someone who knows TV production inside out shone through to make this thrilling novel unique. Will definitely give you chills -- P.L. Kane, author of HER HUSBAND'S GRAVE
The ice at the top of the world is the perfect setting - a locked room mystery where the room itself is lethal. A twisting character-driven thriller where hidden pasts are exposed in the present, provoking deadly intentions and deadlier misunderstandings -- Dominic Nolan, author of VINE STREET
Heart-pumping and super-engaging, with a brilliant setting and cast of characters. The twists and turns kept me guessing throughout and I raced through the pages to the clever and satisfying climax -- Philippa East, author of LITTLE WHITE LIES
A fab twist on the locked room thriller! -- Tina Baker, author of CALL ME MUMMY
Raced through this transporting thriller, with atmosphere, landscape and cast all compelling and vicious. I was utterly gripped - absolutely loved it -- Rachael Blok, author of THE FALL
