When a beloved high schooler named Lucinda Hayes is found murdered, no one in her sleepy Colorado suburb is untouched—not the boy who loved her too much; not the girl who wanted her perfect life; not the officer assigned to investigate her murder. In the aftermath of the tragedy, these three indelible characters—Cameron, Jade, and Russ—must each confront their darkest secrets in an effort to find solace, the truth, or both. In crystalline prose, Danya Kukafka offers a brilliant exploration of identity and of the razor-sharp line between love and obsession, between watching and seeing, between truth and memory. Compulsively readable and powerfully moving, Girl in Snow offers an unforgettable reading experience and introduces a singular new talent in Danya Kukafka. MY REVIEW GIRL IN SNOW by Danya Kukafka is an intense and pensive novel that allows you to see deeply into the lives and minds of the three main characters - Cameron, Jade, and Russ. When the body of Lucinda Hayes is found, secrets are forced to the surface as the suspects are lined up. Cameron was always the strange one in town, the weirdo, who always stalked Lucinda from afar. Then there is Jade who had her own reasons to hope that Lucinda would simply disappear. And Russ, who is investigating the case, is in the uncomfortable position that his brother-in-law is also a suspect. But as the story unfolds and the seething darkness that underpins this murder starts to come to light, there are plenty of twists and turns that will keep you guessing. The overall plot is good, the characters are interesting and while I liked the idea of this novel, I have to admit that the pace was extremely slow-moving and this just didn't work for me and I found myself wanting to skip ahead at points. If you want a slower, character study type of story then GIRL IN SNOW by Danya Kukafka will tick all of those boxes. Author Bio: Danya Kukafka is a graduate of New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study. She works as an assistant editor at Riverhead Books. GIRL IN SNOW is her first novel.
