Blood in the Snow: The thriller that will give you chills

Marzio Santoni lives in the small apartment in the ski resort of Valdiluce. He's left the big city life .. so much violence, so many dead bodies, in his chosen career in law enforcement. He relocated here as a protection servant for the peace and quiet. And that's exactly what he got until ..... Four young women are discovered dead, seemingly a suicide pact. Each of those women, although on vacation from their homes and husbands .... had engaged in relationships with local townsmen. Marzio was one of t he townsmen. When he's called to investigate, he just can't believe it. He throws off the idea of suicide, which his superiors are insistent that it is nothing else. A verdict of murder would hurt their economy as this is a tourist town. Fighting against his police chief, his own emotions and the evidence stacked against him, Marzio is caught up in a race against time to discover what truly happened. Marzio is a unique character. Known as White Wolf when he's not working, he refers to people by their odd smells, although no one else has his ability to smell. The two names seem to represent two people and sometimes they seem to blur. The suspense is of the low sort, the book not really picking up speed. The pacing seems a little off, but I'm not sure if it is the author's writing or the translation. The ending came as a bit of surprise. Many thanks to the author / Aria / Netgalley for the advanced digital copy of this crime fiction. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
