Snow Storm Must Read Mysteries
Now that the big snow storm has hit us here in the northeast, I started thinking about mysteries in which snow plays a significant part in the plot and/or setting. Here are 10 books to snuggle up to and read after digging out:

Vanish in an Instant by Millar has a terrible winter in Michigan as the background.
ReplyDeleteThe Finishing Stroke by Ellery Queen is set against an ice storm.
Thank you for the suggestions!
DeleteOne set of mysteries I forgot to mention was Steve Hamilton's Alex McKnight series set in Michigan's upper peninsula
DeleteMillar who? Trying to look for the Vanish book...
DeleteThat would be Margaret Millar. Here is a link to the book (it is currently $4.99 for Kindle) http://amzn.to/2mFTIIq
DeleteTwo that come to mind are:
ReplyDeleteHard Christmas by Barbara D'Amato and In a Bleak Midwinter by Julia Fleming-Spencer.
I should have remembered "In a Bleak Midwinter" as it is set in Upstate NY in an area similar to where the MRM clan is.
ReplyDeleteThankyou Stay Safe n Warm All Including Fur children
