( )Snow Blind is definitely odd. The premise of this tale of death in the snow is off-centre to start with and there's no predicting where the story goes from there. It's great to see original ideas and authors gambling with storylines the standard crime writers would steer clear of. It's paid off with PJ Tracy's previous work, however Snow Blind doesn't quite seem true. The good news is that the characters are still enjoyable to see in action, with plenty of entertaining dialogue. The actual story is by no means dull, it just doesn't produce a gripping read. I feel that the authors were out to make a point rather than a great thriller. Leo and Gino think they’re out for an entertaining winter carnival, but when two police officers are discovered encased in snowmen, they again must race to solve the mystery before more police officers die. I did not see all of the end here – so glad the books still surprise me… I enjoyed it, but it would have been better if the Monkeywrench crew was more involved. They are what make P.J. Tracy books unique and distinguishable from 100s of other cop storys. While there are certainly some exciting scenes and thrilling set-pieces in the course of this book , I found it curiously unsatisfying overall. It begins well,with two bodies being discovered buried inside snowmen. There are some good characters,in particular a female Sheriff,new to the job. Overall however I found this not a strong enough story to hold my attention. The ending leaves the reader with just too many things unresolved for my liking.There are just too many books of roughly the same type that are much better written and constructed. no reviews | add a review
