Helpful Score: 3

Guterson's dizzingly spectactular description of the Puget Sound area serves to give a strong feel to this even stronger story. Surprisingly (and refreshingly), for a book about a murder, you hardly focus on the murder at all, but more on the relationship between the main characters. You grow attached.

For me, this book is very much like the title suggests - it silently works its way down, into your thoughts, and settles there, like snow. It lingers and stays in your memory, and when it finally does melt away, what remains is the recollection of the beauty that once was there.
