About this listen

The addictive, page-turning crime thriller from top 50 bestselling author, Ross Greenwood

A crime story with a twist in its tale which will surprise even the most hardened thriller readers.

‘Fear the north wind. Because no one will hear you scream…’

A family is gunned down in the snow but one of the children survives. Three years on, that child takes revenge and the Snow Killer is born. But then, nothing - no further crimes are committed, and the case goes cold.

Fifty years later, has the urge to kill been reawakened? As murder follows murder, the detective team tasked with solving the crimes struggle with the lack of leads. It’s a race against time and the weather – each time it snows another person dies.

As an exhausted and grizzled DI Barton and his team scrabble to put the pieces of the puzzle together, the killer is hiding in plain sight. Meanwhile, the murders continue…

Critic reviews

"Move over Rebus and Morse; a new entry has joined the list of great crime investigators in the form of Detective Inspector John Barton. A rich cast of characters and an explosive plot kept me turning the pages until the final dramatic twist." (Richard Burke, author)

"With The Snow Killer, master of the psychological thriller genre Ross Greenwood once again proves his talent for creating engrossing and gritty novels that draw you right in and won’t let go until you’ve reached the shocking ending." (Caroline Vincent)

"Ross Greenwood doesn’t write clichés. What he has written here is a fast-paced, action-filled puzzle of a story with believable characters and spiced with a lot of humour." (Kath Middleton, author)

I'm enjoying the story, but the narrator is spoiling it for me - get on with it! Found it very laboured, with excessively long pauses that added nothing to the telling of the story - he might have all day, but I don't. Will carry on for now, as the story is holding my interest, and hopefully I'll develop a tolerance for the narrator.

Struggling with this one

I enjoyed listening for an odd half hour at first but soon became hooked. The plot was unravelling and I thought I knew who The Snow Killer was. How wrong can you be? With a surprise twist that made me catch my breath. Brilliantly narrated.

A Very good listen

Not a bad book it kept me listening. Narration was good not bad at all.

Narrator didn't seem to fit the story.
The pauses between some sentences were to long making me constantly check to see if I'd paused it, the story didn't require the pause.

Story was good, let down by editing and performance

Wrong narrator for the job

A completely absorbing listen and lots of unexpected developments. Actually realise I have not thought about the news for the entire time listening to this and that in itself is quite a recommendation. New author for me. Will certainly try another.

Surprising. Excellent listen.

Interesting story but narration kind of threw me off. The narrator says Chapter 67: The Snow Killer! in the same voice as one would say Chapter 5: Diagon Alley!

The narrator seems to be shouting

60 books into my audible collection and this is by far the best!! I've always picked books that I had an interest in until this one, I thought I'd give something different a go and am so glad I did.

Fast Start, Great Middle, Brilliant End

I agree with a lot of other reviews about the narrator, I really didn’t like how he read it to start with, especially the lack of emotion at the start of the book, but I realised about half way through, there’s a very good reason for that. I did enjoy it and looked forward to listening to it on my journey to work.

Didn’t see the twist coming!
