This guy can tell a story.

Brian Freeman is, quite simply, a first-rate storyteller.

This book is a delight to read. The dialogue is crisp and natural. The storytelling seems unflawed, with the tiniest of breadcrumbs from one chapter suddenly resurfacing and making their purpose known. The Deep, Deep Snow is one to share with friends, to recommend for book clubs, or to stash away for a second reading down the road. It's just that good.

From the author of the Jonathan Stride mystery series comes a crisply written story about a small-town sheriff's deputy whose investigation of a missing-person case exposes lies and secrets...Shelby Lake, the star of the show, is a terrific character...She's a tough, compassionate woman who absolutely will not be distracted from her search for the truth.

No one makes the pages turn faster than Freeman.
