A British police detective on holiday is dogged by her past, strained family relations, and the pain of being a stranger abroad with a crime scene to deal with.
I enjoyed this, there's a sense of impending doom running through the story, and the author ramps up the tension from the start amid lush descriptions of the snowy and isolated setting.
As a ‘whodunnit', we do find out who and why eventually, but it feels a bit lost beneath the main character's thoughts and emotions.
Read it via Pigeonhole, but blasted through it in a few days rather than reading along every other day.
