When atmosphrics are done well, they add so much to a story. <br /><br />Steve Hamilton is one of the best at this sort of thing.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-41216669620214432722011-11-07T10:09:58.070-05:002011-11-07T10:09:58.070-05:00Hello Yvette:

There are parallels, perhaps to be drawn with Steve Hamilton's use of snow, cold and ice to heighten the tension in his novels.<br /><br />We have not read any of the works in this series but, with winter approaching, this novel sounds just the perfect accompaniment to hibernation with the heating on full and a hot chocolate at hand!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
