A review by missawn
Snowball in Hell by Josh Lanyon

3.0

Darker and more disturbing than I was expecting. I am such a huge fan of Lanyon's writing, but this book is not my favourite. I did like the historical context and setting ... but this was also a whole lot more sad and tragic than I wanted ... with a less than satisfy ending. The mystery was hard to follow sometimes with so many players involved but concluded in an interesting way. Not a fan of Doyle's character even though I typically adore Lanyon's characterization. Doyle is a little too dark and disturbed for my liking ... so much so that even Spain's protective and endearing presence (similar to Sam in Art of Murder series and Jake in Adrien English series) is not enough to make him and their connection an enjoyable to read.
