Reviews for A Cold Snow in Castaway County

[beamis12 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This is a self published novel, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I did like this novel. There are a few grammar errors and sometimes the dialogue sounded a little awkward, but this author did something that made these few bumps a non issue. He created a very likable character in Dell and made this small town in Maine come alive. The cold case Dell is trying to solve is not the focus of this book, I think the focus was Dell himself and the job of a small town Sherrie. In that he succeeded very well.
