A review by taisie22
Winter at the Door by Sarah Graves
4.0
Lizzie Snow has moved from Boston to the County (northern Maine) to become a deputy sheriff. She has an ulterior motive as she's received a tip that her kidnapped niece might be hidden up there. Meanwhile, she has her hands full with a number of retired policemen suddenly dying; they appear to be suicides, but her new boss thinks they're murders. She also has to contend with her ex, a State policeman who seems to be hanging around a lot.
I enjoyed this novel. The author captures life in Aroostook County pretty well, touching on potato picking, moose, and some meth dealing. Lizzie, Dylan, Cody, and the rest of the characters were enjoyable to read about, and I look forward to the next book in the series. The author writes well though I found a few things just a bit too coincidental to help solve various mysteries. The main reason that Cody brought Lizzie to Maine, the murders of the retired lawmen, was dealt with more as an afterthought.
Still, it was a good read in the vein of Paul Doiran and James Hayman, and I recommend it.
