A Compelling, Super Suspenseful Snow Angel

Not an especial fan of the murder-mystery tale, I was surprised to find myself seduced completely and happily by Mr. Racina's bone-chilling story of human slaughter, life-shattering lies, no-holds-barred revenge, and nail-biting suspense. I was even more surprised to be captivated by "Snow Angel" because the first chapter reveals who done it, how, where, and why it was done. The author's years of grinding out network television soap operas has hone him into a master of the cliffhanger.

Start to finish, I was loathe to set down this totally compelling tome. Now I want to read everything that Racina has written.

Something different

This novel departs somewhat from novels that I would normally read. It is a suspense novel, with some amount of romance thrown in consistent with the case. The novel opens with a man (who has a psychopathic mind) carrying out a brutal murder. He has carefully planned his actions, and thinks he has himself covered. He has a persuasive, friendly persona in public. Why should anyone suspect him. But well made plans, of mice and men,...well, maybe there were some flaws in his plans. Readers do know his identity from the start.

The family brings in detective Jim Crowley from San Francisco to investigate, and he starts putting things together. A lot of the novel deals with the man's trial, questions about evidence, and his relationships with people. Can a case be proved?

The novel goes through some twists and turns getting to the end. There is a lot of material about relationships between people, including men who need to deal with the fact that their wives have had mastectomies. The novel contains violence; significant sexual content (including a big guy named Scully, a prisoner in the jail, who thinks that the killer is cute); and language consistent with the plot. I would rate it as an adult only novel.

Shockingly Good

Books that I usually read are about how the murder was done and the whole "whodunit" thing, so this book surprised me because I didnt expect to like it that much beacuse I found out who the killer was in the beginning of the book. It is one of my favoite books now!! The whole book was great and I thought I knew what was going to happen and it was surprising to find out what was really going on. I would highly recommend this book!!

Good read!

Racina's Snow Angel gave me an enjoyable day of reading. Found it very difficult to put this book down. Most definitely one of his better reads.

Great book!!

I truly enjoyed this book. It was a fast read that I had a hard time putting down. I usually like to be suprised at who the killer is at the end, but that didn't really matter to me with this one. It was still a great story even though you know "who did it" from the beginning. I highly recommend it.
