Snowblind

By Christopher Golden

Book Overview

The small New England town of Coventry had weathered a thousand blizzards . . . but never one like this. Icy figures danced in the wind and gazed through children's windows with soul-chilling eyes. People wandered into the whiteout and were never seen again. Families were torn apart, and the town would never be the same.

Now, as a new storm approaches twelve years later, the folks of Coventry are haunted by the memories of that dreadful blizzard and those who were lost in the snow. Photographer Jake Schapiro mourns his little brother, Isaac, even as---tonight---another little boy is missing. Mechanic and part-time thief Doug Manning's life has been forever scarred by the mysterious death of his wife, Cherie, and now he's starting over with another woman and more ambitious crimes. Police detective Joe Keenan has never been the same since that night, when he failed to save the life of a young boy . . . and the boy's father vanished in the storm only feet away. And all the way on the other side of the country, Miri Ristani receives a phone call . . . from a man who died twelve years ago.

As old ghosts trickle back, this new storm will prove to be even more terrifying than the last.

Awesome!

First time I have read anything by this author and I was glad I made this selection. A quick read and very enjoyable.

fast paced but predictable

Snowblind was a quick, easy read. The novel jumps back and forth between the POV of many characters as they deal with the anticipation of the next snow storm. You get a quick glimpse into their world before being dragged back out to another character. Great premise but lacking in character development, suspense, and hardly what I would call 'chilling'.
