Snowball in Hell by Josh Lanyon
3.0
3 Stars
Definitely one of the angstier Lanyon’s I’ve read, this is set during WWII where a cop and a journalist are back home from war injuries and cross paths over a murder.
PTSD, in the closet out of necessity, depression, suicidal ideation, extortion, and kidnapping are just some of the topics touched on in this story.
Written approximately 13 years ago, it’s that much harder to bear as no sequel is in sight despite this being billed as a series. I should be used to frustration regarding this author, and most of the time it doesn’t bother me much… but despite superlative writing, this was more keenly felt this time around with such an abrupt unsatisfying ending, and I’m not a happy camper.
