This book was a little disappointing after all of P.J. Tracy's other books. It was engaging, but not their best work. ( )

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. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 039915339X, Hardcover)

With just three novels to their credit--as well as rave reviews and a shelf full of awards--the duo known as P. J. Tracy are on the fast track to superstardom.

Already major bestselling authors in the UK, the brilliant creators of the Monkeewrench team and their law-abiding counterparts on the Minneapolis PD are setting a new standard for the modern thriller, combining brilliant plotting, razor-sharp dialogue, and vivid characters into a potent brew. And now, with Snow Blind, this duo gives us their most original and irresistible novel yet.

Nothing's bleaker than Minneapolis during the winter, the season that, to some longtime residents, lasts eleven months of the year. So what better way to bring a little cheer to the good people of the city than by sponsoring an old-fashioned snowman-building contest? In a matter of hours, a local park is filled with the innocent laughter of children and their frosty creations. But things take an awful turn when the dead bodies of Minneapolis police officers are discovered inside two of the snowmen- sending the MPD and Detectives Magozzi and Rolseth on high alert. The next day, Iris Rikker, the newly minted sheriff of rural Dundas County, comes across another dead cop. Fearing that Rikker's inexperience will hamper the investigation, Magozzi and Rolseth head north-in a blizzard-to hunt for clues. As Grace MacBride and her crack computer jocks at Monkeewrench comb cyber-murder websites for connections, a terrifying link emerges, connecting the dead cops, Magozzi and Rolseth, and Monkeewrench-a link that must be broken, before it's too late.
