I'm not a big fan of novellas, but was pleasantly surprised that this was a fully realized mystery. Using the same set-up as in the opening book of this series, Detective Constable Lacey Flint comes across a crime in process: this time near her home, where a man is set afire in the local park. A racism angle seems quite likely, but no substantive evidence can be found to incriminate the suspected perpetrators and it doesn't feel right to Lacey. As always, she gets very involved in the investigation, enlisting the help of her reporter friend, Emma Boston, and puts herself in danger again in order to identify the guilty. Unconventional ending, kudos to author Sharon Bolton. ( )

Do not, I repeat DO NOT, read this novella (Lacey Flint #1.5) before you read the novel Now You See Me (Lacey Flint #1.0). It contains spoilers for the novel. Stop right now. Go get the novel and read it first.

Fine.

I will wait.

Ok, now that you read these in the proper order, aren’t you glad you did? If Snow Hadn’t Fallen takes up right where Now You See Me left off. I enjoyed spending more time with Lacey and the crew and am looking forward to reading more in the series.

Just as Now You See Me was especially interesting not only for the great story and characters, it also was especially satisfying because of the historical detail and the cultural aspects. I have visited England, but as an American I was completely unaware of and fascinated by the insight into the current culture and social issues. Even more so with If Snow Had Not Fallen which, besides being a great police procedural about an absolutely horrific murder, provided insight into the Muslims living in London, both their culture and how their culture clashes with the English. Great ending too.

I am off to find the next book in the series.

So wow, another likable short story. Who knew they existed? I like this story because it's a full story with a beginning, middle, end and [surprise] a plot. It was suspenseful and chilling.

When a murder takes place not far from Lacey's home, she's the first to arrive at the scene and witness what happens. For the rest of the story she makes it her mission to find out who is responsible for this awful crime and what she finds out will leave you floored. ( )

Good short story, she’s not shy from some serious topics. I did not really like the ending though, otherwise I would have given it 4*. ( )

Started January 16th, 2014.
Hoping to finish it soon. So far, again a very good beginning and also no romance, at least.
Being a short book or novella, it is surprisingly not fast paced, but that's ok for me.
One nice twist and a surprising ending does a lot for me, so 4 stars this is.
The romance from the first book is on hold, with him being in hospital, so that is what I fear for the next book, unless one of them gets killed on duty or something else equally happens so that one of the is out of the story and out of the picture. Would make me more interested in the next book.
But as it is, this will probably be the last book in the series for me.
(Totally OT: just listening to All About Eve: Life on Mars (David Bowie Cover))
This book I recommend, but beware to not pay too much for it, as it is no full-length book, clocking in at under 90 pages. And a few pages preview of the next book [b:Lost|18774280|Lost|S.J.
