| Snow Kill by Tom Eslick Write Way Publishing 288 pages, 2000 ISBN 1885173180 Reviewed by PJ Nunn Chad Duquette knows that life is not fair, but he sees a therapist, takes care of his stepbrother, plows driveways, and responds to emergency calls as an EMT. Sometimes, he hopes, you get back a little of whatever you give out. Responding to what he assumes is a routine hunting accident, Chad’s a little surprised to find a man down in the snow with a 9mm in his hand. Before they can even get the man stabilized and secured for transport, his hunting buddy is shot down right in front of them, but when they go back to pick him up, he’s gone. A few days later, another body turns up, shot by the same 9mm Chad found on the first victim. From the outset, nothing makes sense, but the victims are strangely linked to one another by a sketchy pentagram tattoo on their thighs. Curious, Chad does a little investigating, but the situation soon turns lethal. Someone is trying to frame him for the murders. When his stepbrother disappears, Chad’s running for his life. Can he find the answers in time to save himself and his brother? Eslick is from New Hampshire and writes well about the snowcovered mountainsides that grace the area in strong, silent beauty. His characters are realistic and diverse. SNOW KILL is a unique mystery, crowded with atmosphere and a pace that escalates to a satisfying conclusion. |
