review 1: This gripping debut novel is a "page-turner," a "stay-up-all-night" mystery. A pregnant detective is sent out in the winter to investigate a murder, witnessed by a fragile young woman. The detective was on the initial case 11 years before when there were deaths of young women, probably brought into Montana as sex slaves. And a significant witness disappeared at the same time. Somehow, the murder of this tragic woman seems to be related to the 11 year old case. Who did the young woman see murdered? And who murdered her? Why? This is such a complex novel that it is hard to believe it is the first by this author. The reader has to get within pages of the end of the book to read and understand the title. This novel does not satisfy anyone and it seems obvious to me th... moreat there will be a followup book or books. There are too many tangles still there even though the reader knows some of the parentage, murderers, and systems used in the past. WOW!
review 2: The word that comes to mind when I think of this book is awkward. The story was awkward, the plot pacing was awkward, the dialogue was awkward. Everything was so badly told I felt like I was reading a court transcript. There was no depth to the characters. I couldn't understand their motivations at all. They were so weird. After reading Fourth of July Creek, which was so well done, and which took place in Montana also, this book seemed like a terrible generalization of the people who live in Montana. less
