Perfect for you if...

  • You love Gothic mysteries with a atmospheric setting and don't mind a slow-burn romance woven through the danger.
  • You're drawn to unreliable-narrator setups where everyone in the house has secrets and a motive.
  • You appreciate mid-century prose that takes its time building dread rather than cutting straight to jump scares.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want a fast-paced thriller that gets straight to the point. Snowfire lingers in atmosphere and subtext.
  • You're looking for a contemporary mystery. This is squarely vintage Gothic with 1970s sensibilities that some readers find dated.
  • You need a clear protagonist. Linda's naïveté and romantic distraction in the face of actual danger might frustrate you.

About this book

Linda Earle's stepbrother was accused of murdering Margot, the wife of championship skier Julian McCabe, who had been mentoring him. Convinced of her stepbrother's innocence, Linda takes a job as an après-ski hostess at the McCabes' lodge in the Poconos, located near their estate, Greystones mansion. Once inside the household, Linda learns that multiple family members had reasons to want Margot dead: her disturbed daughter, her malicious and jealous sister-in-law, and Julian himself. As Linda grows closer to Julian, she uncovers secrets within the mansion's walls. With a killer still unidentified among the residents, Linda realizes that anyone—possibly even herself—could be the next victim. This ebook includes an illustrated biography of Phyllis A. Whitney with rare images from the author's estate.
