Title: Lyrical writing; one of the best books I read last year
Review: The first few chapters of this book were utterly flawless -- nail-biting tension and a sense of dread kept me flipping those pages. I am a published novelist myself, and I have the greatest admiration for Mr. Sullivan's artistry. He has the spirit of a poet. I have a few quibbles about the solution to the mystery (I always have quibbles!) but I cannot deny the fact this author's descriptions of snow and isolation are masterful.
