Girl in Snow A Novel by Danya Kukafka published by Simon & Schuster is a must read for anyone who is in need of a great mystery to read this summer! I was lucky enough to receive an ARC so thank you to Negalley the author and the publishing company. While this is not a 5 star read for me it is a solid 4. The story is centered around a murder of a young girl. Although it reads like a mystery I think the way the author sets up the chapters it is also an in-depth look at the three people from her town whose points of views the story is told from. Jade the insecure girl who hates Lucinda Hayes. Cameron the guy who “watched “ her, and Russ the cop who has his own turmoil that unravels throughout the story who wants nothing more than to bring a killer to justice.
Although this book is strongly based around the murder of this young girl it is also important to talk about how this small-town deal with death grieves the passing of this young girl and ultimately passes blame. The ending and the actual killer is a big shocker and after the first twenty percent this book goes real fast!
Just finished this, this book was not so much of a mystery as it was the insight into the 3 main characters' past! The author (I think this is her 1st novel) I felt, may have spent too much of the book describing the characters past events! David
This was really lovely in ways I didn't expect. The mystery was good, but the exploration of love in its many forms, and the question of what a person will do for someone they love, made this a standout in its genre. A very pleasant surprise.
