  Wow. This story had me literally holding my breath and swallowing back fear. Stark imagery of snow covered plains provide a backdrop for the characters who traverse the wilderness of 1867 Hudson Bay in search of a murderer. Stef Penney is an absolute genius as every possible theme is deftly played out: man v. man, v. nature, v. himself. Cannot recommend highly enough.

  Cold and dark but told wonderfully. Various points of view but only one character speaks in the first person. Layered and compelling. Reminded me a bit of A Reliable Wife.
