The Snow Killer
The Snow Killer: The start of an explosive new crime series for 2019 | Ross Greenwood
12 posts | 6 read | 8 to read
Fear the north wind. Because no one will hear you scream... A family is gunned down in the snow but one of the children survives. Three years on, that child takes revenge and the Snow Killer is born. But then, nothing - no further crimes are committed, and the case goes cold. Fifty years later, has the urge to kill been reawakened? As murder follows murder, the detective team tasked with solving the crimes struggle with the lack of leads. Its a race against time and the weather each time it snows another person dies. As an exhausted and grizzled DI Barton and his team scrabble to put the pieces of the puzzle together, the killer is hiding in plain sight. Meanwhile, the murders continue... The first in a new series, Ross Greenwood has written a cracking, crackling crime story with a twist in its tale which will surprise even the most hardened thriller readers. Perfect for fans of Mark Billingham and Stuart MacBride. Praise for The Snow Killer: 'Move over Rebus and Morse; a new entry has joined the list of great crime investigators in the form of Detective Inspector John Barton. A rich cast of characters and an explosive plot kept me turning the pages until the final dramatic twist.' author Richard Burke With The Snow Killer, master of the psychological thriller genre Ross Greenwood once again proves his talent for creating engrossing and gritty novels that draw you right in and wont let go until youve reached the shocking ending. Caroline Vincent at Bitsaboutbooks blog 'Ross Greenwood doesnt write clichs. What he has written here is a fast-paced, action-filled puzzle with believable characters that's spiced with a lot of humour.' author Kath Middleton What readers think of The Snow Killer:'Absolutely brilliant!!' 'A crime novel with a social conscience.' ' It grabbed me a few pages in and wouldn't let go'

This was a very enjoyable read. An interesting viewpoint written from the perspective of the murderer and the detective. Loved the rationale been presented fir the serial killer. A good twist towards the end of the book. Available free as an audiobook in the U.K. if you are a subscriber to Audible.
I look forward to continuing this series.

Started this audiobook, the first book in the DI Barton Series. This is available free as part of the Audible Plus Catalogue if you are a subscriber with them.

Starting interestingly from the viewpoint of the killer, and also covering what led up to him killing.

Trying another new-ish read/listen format before year end. I won a free book in this format not realizing that it caters to the UK market. The book I won was not available for sale in the US market. They kindly gave a a credit so I could pick another book. I really enjoyed this app but it was clearly meant for a UK audience.

‘Fear the north wind. Because no one will hear you scream…‘

A family is gunned down but one of the children survives.

This is the first book in Greenwood's new DI Barton series. Set in a town outside of London, the story jumps back and forth between the view point of Detective Inspector Barton, and the Snow Killer. Even though for most of the story you know what's going to happen because you're getting the POV of the villain, it is still suspenseful and fast paced, with a surprise at the end that I didn't see coming. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

DI Barton is investigating the murder and things get dark….can he catch the a Snow Killer before any more deaths?

This is an incredibly gripping thriller, just when you think you know where the tale is going a gasp inducing twist keeps you guessing. Clever plot, fast paced, dark and twisty…..brilliant.
