Several weeks ago a tweet caught my eye. It was singing the praises of "Wolf Winter", a debut novel along with a link to the trailer for the book. I was intrigued so I followed the link and watched the trailer, and from that I knew I really wanted to read this book, so I quickly popped over to Amazon and bought a copy... I was not disappointed.
For a first novel this really hit the spot for me and I thought it was an excellent read. It's a murder mystery which unfolds through the eyes of both Frederika and her mother, Maija. I lost count of how many times I shivered whilst reading the descriptions of Winter approaching the settlements, it almost had me reaching for a pair of thick woolly socks. I would suggest a hot chocolate to hand would also be a good idea before you start reading! What a great debut novel and a strong start to a writing career. I am already waiting in anticipation for her next book which I believe is due out next spring. Watch Wolf Winter Trailer and judge for yourself.
