Scandi noir meets Gormenghast. Just wonderful. Can’t get enough of Tuva Moodyson...', 'With a sense of menace that fairly snaps at your heels, this is a truly fabulous read... The dark, twisty and somewhat quirky plot kept me on constant alert from start to finish. Red Snow is edgy, intricate, and right up there for me, this is Scandi-noir with brass knobs on!', ‘Makes the blood run even colder than Dark Pines: Will Dean goes from strength to strength.’
