About this listen
‘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…
The first in a new series, Ross Greenwood has written a cracking, crackling crime story with a twist in its tale which will surprise even the most hardened thriller readers. Perfect for fans of Mark Billingham and Stuart MacBride.

"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)

Grew on me!
A promising new series (and from the perspective of being halfway through the next one, The Soul Killer, it is evident that contnuity will be maintained).
A refreshing change to have a positive personal and home environment for the police lead, DI Barton, instead of some of the tortured souls of protagonists like Wallander and Morse!
As the past and present slowly converged after a 50 year gap, the pace then accelerated to a final denoument that was maybe only a little bit OTT, but the final plot twist was a good one!
Will read/listen to more of Ross Greenwood.

Great story, annoying narrator
Enjoyed the story but found the narration irritating. Every sentence was a pronouncement, no subtlety and often sounded either smug or condescending.

The snow killer
Story was good in that it held my interest although that was tested by the poor narration..- very slow, long pauses, and a boring voice.

Pleasant easy listening with a good plot.
I liked the way it switched back and forth between the police and the snow killer making you aware of what was going on in each of their heads. Nicely paced. Didn’t not like anything. Lovely book. 👏👏👏

Not bad, not great
An ok story. Good for a free book. I wouldn't like to have paid for it.
There was a few twists I wasn't expecting, and I few I was.
The conversations of the police didn't ring true and their actions seemed to be based more on the direction of the story and what the reader knew than what the police knew. As in, the flurry of urgent activity on a Sunday which was based on a few "what-ifs" and assumptions and no new evidence.

My first Ross Greenwood Audiobook
I really enjoyed the story, but found that the narrator was jarring. He emphasized every fourth or fifth word and sounded like he was reading a shopping list 🥵 I may try book two in the hope that he settles down and improves.
