A taut and enthralling tale that is as dark as the Canadian winter setting is cold. Humane,intelligent, and griping, FORTY WORDS FOR SORROW is a haunting journey into the human heart in all its complexities.

The only 'creepy' books I read are by Giles Blunt. (But I don't read them at night!) The language and mood are beautiful. I don't know much about snow... but felt I did after reading one of his books. Set in the Algonquin Bay area of Ontario.

I'd rate this higher except I don't care for the genre ... serial killers. The writing in general, characters, atmosphere, etc. is super.
