Notes From Your Bookseller
Underneath the quiet fall of a snowstorm are secrets. It’s as if the snow were a giant “hush” on all of the story. Detective Inspector St. John Strafford is continually trying to keep warm and dry but realizes his only way to an answer is to move headstrong into the storm. We are in awe of his determination to unlock awful pasts and to make sure nothing, not bodies, not lies, get buried without their proper due. Snow is a master class on the art of a mystery novel.
