Description

New York, Christmas 1984.

A city in crisis, two lives at stake.

Philip Sanders has a perfect life and a perfect wife. Independent and ambitious, Ellie is his compass and his destination all in one. She is the mother of funny, loving, adorable four-year-old Chris.

Then she is gone, killed in a horrific accident.

Philip moves back to his old haunts in New York with his son, hoping for a fresh start. Instead, he finds a new, more merciless city, ravaged by crime and drugs. Philip starts to feel that danger stalks them every day. Then he understands that someone is orchestrating that danger...

Now Philip can't stop asking questions. And some of the answers take him back to his wife's death.

Did it happen as he thought? As he was told?

Did it happen at all?

Can you ever really know someone?

Philip is lost in a maelstrom of secrets, greed and malice. He stands at the edge of an abyss, hoping salvation lies on the other side.

Snow Fall is a rollercoaster emotional journey into the heart of someone you love, through the labyrinths of a great, changing city. First volume in the New York Quartet.

I really enjoyed the writing and some of the insights of this author. Its a tough story, with lots of loss and duplicity, some of the right reasons, some not.
There are some things that don't make sense to me, how a loving mother could put herself into so much danger, but human behavior never fails to baffle me.

Sudden, unexplained loss is hard enough, furthermore to explain to a child. But our hero does the best he can and muddles through with the best of intentions. His awareness of himself is good, but sometimes not enough to make the better decisions. Making a dramatic move after the death leads him into a very dramatic and dangerous series of events, some are truly horrible. I can not stand when animals are involved-

The ending is ok, a bit poignant but hopeful.
Recommend.

A complex and intricately woven story. Drug dealing, pornography, death, mourning, starting over; there's a lot going on in here. I lost the thread a few times but overall, a decent read with a satisfying ending. While it plodded along at some points, the end had my heart racing. I would have liked some character development. I do love stories set in NYC, though.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.

This was a very convoluted story about a wife and mother who is supposedly killed in an airplane crash but is found to be really more involved than previously thought. This novel has many twists and turns with references to the drug world, real estate, pornography and snuff films. This kept my interest throughout even though I had to read it twice as I hadn’t left a review the first time.
