Why I picked this book to read? Well my son was to go to Montreal Canada. And no doubt the detective, or should I say retired detective is from Montreal.
Emile Cinq-Mars a retired cop got called to help and give counsel about a murder that happen in the snow storm. FBI was involved as well as his old partner. Emile's wife Sandra wanted to be kept in the loop. Since she was always wondering, as Emile was always on a job.
I thought the story was a bit wordy. It took great lengths not to give in and say "I don't want to read anymore". But I got through it. A good story. The way the author put it together, page turner.
As most mysteries go there were murders of instant people as well as police. Motive was what Emile was working on. Lead Emile down to New Orleans. His wife went to. No time for sight seeing. Emile had a job to do.
With the excitement of investigating again. Cinq-Mars had for the first time the saddest feeling of missing his badge and duties with his gun.
The story and ending were murky for me. Very long to describe a plan of some sought or other.
All in all the story was good. I would like at some point and read the rest of trilogy
I would give The Storm Murders a 4 <____________
