The Dead of Winter by Lisa Appignanesi

3.0

This isn't a seat-of-your-pants action thriller. It's a psychological journey back through the connected lives of the victim and the narrator, who may or may not be her killer. It features a well-written male character from a female writer, who also gets the dosage of the anglo-franco Québec reality just right for the times.

The "foreignness" of the English narration of the French-speaking narrator is mostly done very well. There are times when an odd word or phrase sticks out, but doesn't trip up the reader.

All in all, a good read and a good story.
