Snow Blind by P. J. Tracy

[Jonetta]

The Dead of Winter...

Minneapolis, winter's first white flakes; a park full of snowmen. But the layers of packed snow hide a goulish surprise ...

First, the bodies of two cops are found inside the snowmen and then a day later, in the countryside to the north, Sheriff Iris Rikker makes a similarly shocking discovery. Soon Detectives Gino and Magozzi are sent north through the worst blizzard Minnesota's seen for years to find what else links the investigations.

But some secrets you don't want to uncover. And as the cases unravel, it seems snowmen aren't the only ones with something to hide ...

We plan to read this in May.

I'll order it from the library for then. Maybe it won't still be sleeting and snowing here by then :(

[Tracey]

I'm looking forward to it!

[Kris - My Novelesque Life]

Same here!

Although I had a few issues with the book I think it has been a good one to discuss! Thanks for the questions Jonetta.

[Jonetta]

You're welcome! Like you, the ending sort of tainted my overall impression. I rated it 3.5 stars and decided to round up because the story was so interesting.
