Snow Angels My rating: 4 of 5 stars |
Very, very noir.

1. Of or relating to the film noir genre.
2. Of or relating to a genre of crime literature featuring tough, cynical characters and bleak settings.

I gave it 4 stars for plot and characterization, plus setting. Read this thriller if you can keep in mind that it's fiction.
Thanks to the publisher for an ARC of this novel.

ReplyDeleteI loved this book too! My review is coming up! Thanks for yours!
ReplyDeleteHarvee: Yes, this book definitely did make it hard for me to sleep the night I finished it! But I've also found myself thinking back to the characters and excitedly waiting to hear about the next installment of the series (reminds me of Larsson's GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO work). Thank you for your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
