Dead of Winter by Darcy Coates
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
2.0
If you like gory slashers in a winter setting, it's a fun enough read!
The setting and pacing of the book were enjoyable, but there were too many clues pointing to the killer right away. It was clear to me in the first or second chapterwhen Kiernan convinced Christa to hike up to find a view of the mountain valley during a blizzard. Anyone who's familiar with snow would know visibility during a snow event is minimal. Then there's Brian's similar build, the dead brother and the matching Irish names of said dead brother and killer.
