Will read perhaps Deverell's book Snow Job and note the others.<br /><br />A friend who is a real Canadaphile just told me she has three books for me set in the icy North, including one by Stan Jones.<br /><br />So many good books, so little time.<br /><br />I'm adding a few books from your list to my TBR mountain. I'm fascinated by Inger Ash Wolfe, so I'll read that and ponder the author's real identity.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-88838543808314093772012-07-21T23:19:06.410-06:002012-07-21T23:19:06.410-06:00John: Thanks for the comment and taking up The Sus...John: Thanks for the comment and taking up The Suspect.

I would suggest Flight of Aquavit by Anthony Bidulka (has a uniquely Saskatchewan winter effort at murder),Snow Job by William Deverell is set in the winter in Ottawa, Darkness at the Stroke of Noon by Dennis Murphy is set in the far North with the brutal cold that is almost unbearable and Dead Cold by Louise Penny has a murder on the surface of a frozen lake.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-39910050041309374682012-07-21T20:33:38.111-06:002012-07-21T20:33:38.111-06:00I picked up the Suspect based on your recommendati...I picked up the Suspect based on your recommendation.

What fun!<br /><br />And I am so glad that I discovered L.R. Wright and The Suspect and could pass on the recommendation to so many readers who liked it. And no, I didn't want George arrested. His motive and justification were compelling to me. If I were on that jury, I'd have voted for justifiable homicide. <br /><br />However, given this heat I'd like to return to Nordic noir and any books set in the COLD WEATHER in Canada. The Tenderness of Wolves would be fine, 1860s in the Canadian winter, but I read it.<br /><br />Any ideas on good mysteries with snow and ice in the background? <br /><br />I see a few books by R.J. Harlick at the library. Maybe that will do the trick, at least they are set in the wilderness.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-13472593369107435552012-07-17T22:27:58.467-06:002012-07-17T22:27:58.467-06:00Clarissa: Thanks for the comment.
