What really did happen the night of the accident?
Ronny kept asking himself over and over if it was his fault or if Matt caused his own death. Ronny and Matt had been friends throughout high school but now Ronny was a police officer and Matt was still the trouble-making kid he had always been.
DARKNESS THE COLOR OF SNOW takes the reader from present day back to Ronnie and Matt's high school days letting us in on their antics and how they fell apart and where they are today.
DARKNESS THE COLOR OF SNOW also touches on the topic of small towns and the way corruption can occur with its officials.
I truly did not like Martin who was the head of the town council. He was a corrupt official who was doing illegal things but made himself appear to be the good guy to the public.
Ronny was a sweet kid who seemed to always get the short end of the deal.
Matt was not a nice person and someone who caused Ronny grief during their teenage years as well as their adult years.
DARKNESS THE COLOR OF SNOW was a tense read, but very good. I am actually going to classify it as a psychological thriller. The situation and the characters kept me glued to the pages but also had me nervous for the decisions the characters made.
I was trying to figure out the significance of the title of DARKNESS THE COLOR OF SNOW and came up with the idea that the book had dark things happening in the small town of Lydell and the snow that was always falling made it an emotionally cold place to live.
Let me know what you think of the book and the significance of the title if you read the book.
I did enjoy the read. I live in a small town, and wonder what goes on here that we don't know about. :) 4/5
