About this listen

In this gripping follow-up to his Edgar Award-nominated mystery, The Deep, Deep Snow, Brian Freeman tells the story of Rebecca Colder, a young sheriff’s deputy who faces the most excruciating choice a mother can make.

I know you’ll never forgive me for what I did. I’m sure you’ve asked yourself that question many times over the years.

Why? Why did I do it?

Well, sweetheart, this is the answer.

I was only 26 years old when the monster came back to Black Wolf County. The answers you want begin at Christmas time that year. However, if you really want to understand everything that happened to me - to us - you have to go even further back in my life.

Years back, to the night I met the Ursulina face to face.

So let’s start there.

Incredible

Wow, what a book! I went into this book knowing only that it was a prequel to The Deep, Deep Snow. I often read books without reading the summary first. People always say not to judge a book by its cover, but I totally do. Mystery/Thrillers are my genres and I can pick them out of a crowd almost always based on their covers. I’d rather let the book take me on a journey than go into it with expectations.

Before I listened to the first book, I had no idea who Brian Freeman (author) or January LaVoy (narrator) were. Now I find myself wanting to look into more of their work.

I need to do a re-listen to see if there were any clues to the mystery that I missed, but I don’t think there were. The entire time, I was guessing and every time I thought I had things figured out, I was proven wrong. There were a few questions left unanswered in book 1 that were answered in this book. For that, I am grateful, as they were maddening and I desperately wanted answers.

This story is masterfully done and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. There were times when I was genuinely worried about characters. I found the protagonist Rebecca Colder to be likable and relatable. Each and every character in this story feels like they’re based on a real person. You really get a fly-on-the-wall sort of experience with this novel.

January LaVoy and does an absolutely incredible job bringing Rebecca Colder to life as well as doing voices for the various other characters. She stands out as one of the better narrators I’ve heard.

I highly recommend this to anybody who is a Mystery/Thriller fan. This book is going to be living in the back of my brain for a while for sure.

Exceptional

I usually prefer the idea of a murder mystery more than the reality, as I'm often left a little deflated or dissatisfied by the endings.
But, I enjoyed the first in this series enough to continue to this prequel... which was extraordinary.
An utterly compelling and textured narative that kept me guessing right until the gasp-out-loud final reveal. I'm no professional critic but, for me, this was a diamond of the genre, polished to perfection by the pure vocal craftsmanship of January Lavoy..
I loved it!
