Winter Kill is a great murder mystery thriller. The story seems like something straight out of a TV show. I like that the book has well developed characters. I look forward to grabbing myself a copy of this book soon.

Thank you for sharing this insightful and engaging review of "Winter Kill" by E. J. Pepper. Your commentary highlights several aspects that make this mystery novel a compelling read. The unique perspective of telling the story from the suspects' viewpoints, rather than the traditional detective's, adds a fresh and chilling dimension to the narrative, reminiscent of Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment." This approach allows readers to connect emotionally with the characters and experience the suspense in a more intimate way.

Your appreciation for the author's ability to keep readers guessing and shatter expectations is well-founded. A successful mystery novel should maintain an air of unpredictability, and it seems that Pepper has achieved this balance effectively. Furthermore, the book's polished editing and strong story structure contribute to an enjoyable reading experience.

While you mention that the book has few negatives, your point about some unresolved issues is valid. It's essential for a mystery novel to tie up all loose ends to provide a satisfying conclusion. However, the fact that the book kept you engaged and fulfilled despite these minor concerns speaks to its overall quality and the author's storytelling prowess.

Your recommendation for fans of crime stories, detective TV shows, and Agatha Christie-type whodunits is spot-on. "Winter Kill" appears to be a gripping and thrilling addition to the mystery genre, offering a unique perspective and a well-crafted narrative that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

A novel that gives Sherlock Holmes a run for his money must indeed be something. “Winter Kill” by E. J. Pepper, this crime and mystery novel is written from the suspects' point of view, not the regular detective's point of view. If you love a good mystery book, then this is it.

I completely agree with this review! "Winter Kill" by E.J. Pepper is a gripping mystery novel that cleverly tells the story from the suspects' perspectives, creating a thrilling and suspenseful ride. The author's unique approach keeps you guessing and invested in the characters' backstories and emotions. While I also felt that some plot threads were left untied, the book's engaging structure and well-crafted suspense made it a compelling read. I highly recommend it to fans of crime stories, detective fiction, and whodunits!

I've a strong interest in the crime and mystery genre. This book is totally my cup of tea. As mentioned in the review, that in crime thriller, most of the time it is a detective solving the case which I enjoy very much as well. But the author's take on writing the story from the suspects' perspective is certainly intriguing. I would love to read the book.

"Winter Kill" by E. J. Pepper sounds like an intriguing read. I'm not usually a fan of crime thrillers, as they are often written from the detective's perspective. However, writing it from the suspect's perspective makes the book far more interesting.

I was tempted to think that Oliver Moorhouse was set up in this murder case after he was linked up by the chief editor. Amazing review!

Not only interesting, but also very intriguing, because I had never before encountered such a concept of storytelling on paper. While most TV-shows use the method of showcasing the "perspective of the several suspects involved in the crime" the books are usually more focused on main characters only. Thanks for the recommendation and congrats on BOTD!
