“Reading The Blizzard’s Secrets is like peeling an onion. Just about the time you finish peeling one layer, you find another. And another. And secrets a-plenty…The plot keeps readers dangling like a fish on a hook and reels them in slowly with just enough bait to keep them biting. And guessing. Or in this case, shivering.”
