The first in the Snow White trilogy, this is a gripping and engrossing story featuring a strong and courageous heroine. Set against a wintry Finnish backdrop, this is an intriguing and brilliantly crafted thriller which keeps the reader absorbed right to the end. Booktrust It's packed with action, narrow escapes, memorable set pieces and terrific characters. A brilliant read...It's a cold destination but this story has a warm heart. This, the first of a great trilogy, is probably the best book in the series Crime Thriller Hound Book Blog I thoroughly enjoyed reading As Red As Blood (...) and if you enjoy YA books then I would highly recommend it! It's a very promising start to the series Bibliophile Book Club Blog
