2.0

So full of misogyny, the poor female characters. The only one who is not killed, immediately sexualised, insane or a combination of the above is
the buddy’s widow
.
The murder mystery itself was also disappointing in the second half of the book. Same for the resolution.
That said, if you want something with classical noir character tropes in the snowy setting - you might like it.
