I am a big fan of P.J Tracy, whenever I buy one of thier books I just can't put them down, so I reserve a weekend and to myself and settle down for some solid reading. I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of this book, and booked the weekend. However this book failed to deliver on the very high standards they normally deliver. I think in this book they failed miserably. The book is too full of "coincidences", and to be honest it is kind of disjointed. Which I don't really want to go into as it will give the story line away.
It is still a fairly good read, but no where near the quality of the others.

A so-so beginning gathers pace until the book is speeding along like an arthritic sloth before coming to a grinding halt in what has to be the most pathetic and lazy finale in a so-called thriller that I've ever read. I can only assume that the quotes on the back were all preceded by "This is not" because in my opinion this is not "outrageously suspenseful", has no "devilish twists" (or even any slightly impish twists for that matter) and as for the "nail-biting finish" forget it!

Though, in saying that this did take a slightly different angle and bring detectives Gino and Magozzi more into the limelight, with the Monkeywrench crew providing a basically 'peripheral' supportive role.
Rookie sheriff Iris Rikker has the start from hell in her new role, with horrendous snow-storms; bodies; murderers and a semi-hostile police force to contend with. Gino and Magozzi are a great team and there was some well placed humour throughout.
Sadly although angle on the subject was excellent; pace and 'twists' superb - if fizzled out to a kind of nothing end, where I did wonder if some of the characters would surface again..... in a later book.
Saying that I enjoyed it overall but it didn't have quite the punch their previous work has had.

I notice a small section of Ch 33 has been cut. Not sure if any other changes. It unsettled me.

My first P.J. Tracy, this clearly a mixed blessing. On the one hand, confusing references to Monkeewrench and certain characters which meant so much more to readers of earlier... Read more

Previous reviewers have said it all really. The two main characters grated on me and were so lacking in personality as to be interchangeable - the only time I could tell them apart... Read more

Easy going.
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. Read more

Excellent.
Another fast-paced thriller from the mother and daughter writing team named P J Tracy. It's deep, deep snow and two bodies are found inside snowmen in a Minneapolis park. Read more

Atypical - above average thriller!!!
---- SPOILER ALERT ----
At a police sponsored build-a-snowman-event, the body of a cop is found inside a snowman. Creepy and yet delightfully winter-y. Read more

Irredeemably awful
God this is awful stuff. Turgid, boring, cardboard cut out characters, idiotic computer hacking thrown in which has nothing to do with the story - do these people think it's sexy ? Read more

Untaxing if far-fetched
