Editorial Reviews

"Big Noise" by Jen Wright is a Northwood's thriller you can curl up with on a snowy night. Main character, Jo, is in need of a vacation from her stressful work dealing with troubled and sometimes dangerous teens. She and her new love interest, Zoey, head to the town Big Noise to visit friends, enjoy the outdoors, and explore their new relationship... This novel does contain some intrigue, but I would classify the writing as suspense rather than mystery.
