The Snowstorm by Triona Walsh, Triona Walsh
5.0
With thanks to the author, publishers Bookouture Audio, and NetGalley for providing me with an advance copy of the audiobook edition of this work in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
A remote island locked down by a snow storm on New Year’s Eve … what better setting for a murder mystery!
Six old friends gather on a windswept Irish island, to mark the 10th anniversary of the death of another friend from their childhood group. Three of them still live on the island, including Cara, the only serving Garda (police officer) on the island, while the others have gone off to make new lives for themselves in London and California. When one of the six is found dead in suspicious circumstances, it is left to Cara to untangle the web of lies and deceit spun by those around her to find the culprit!
In a really impressive debut from the author, she builds the tension through a relatively slow and low-key start, before unleashing a seemingly never-ending series of twists and turns that really kept me guessing as to how the story would end up and who the killer would ultimately be revealed to be.
Narrator Jacqueline Milne also did a fantastic job of telling the story, and bringing the characters to life.
Recommended!
