Snow Merry Red- Nadya Frank- crime
Viola is looking forward to the holidays (in Russia New year is a big thing).
What she isn't expecting is to be locked in a basement for a week with no
memory of how she got there or who by. She manages to free herself and
wants some answers which she hopes she will get at the family new year
party. She quickly finds a friend to help her- the friend being a con artist
Zoya.
This is well written (a few typos but I read an ARC) and well put together.
I love the title- a hint of Christmas but not straightforward- indicative of
the read. There are some references which may require a little more
explanation for those not familiar with Russian traditions or
abbreviations/acronyms. A novella with characters that could possibly be
developed into a full length novel to give more background and insight
into their personalities.
A good cohesive first novel and a very solid start- well done!
