The latest thriller from the internationally bestselling author of The Lake of Dead Languages and The Other Mother, a story of mistaken identities and missed chances, forgiveness, and vengeance.




"Carol Goodman is, simply put, a stellar writer."


- Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author of The Red Hunter


ALICE gets off a bus in the middle of a snowstorm in Delphi, NY. She is fleeing an abusive relationship and desperate to protect her young son, OREN. But when they meet MATTIE, a social worker in her fifties who lives in an enormous run-down house in the middle of the woods, their lives are forever changed.


Oren, a ten-year-old Star Wars fan and wise beyond his years, bonds nearly instantly with Mattie. Mattie, who lives alone and is always available, is the person the hotline always calls when they need a late-night pickup. And although according to protocol Mattie should take Alice and Oren to a local shelter, instead she brings them home for the night. She has plenty of room, she says. What she doesn't say is that Oren reminds her of her little brother, who died thirty years ago at the age of ten.


But Mattie isn't the only one withholding elements of the truth. Alice is keeping her own secrets. And as the snowstorm worsens around them, each woman's past will prove itself unburied, stirring up threats both within and without.


Carol Goodman is a masterful storyteller who weaves complex characters and intricate plots into her novels. The Lake of Dead Languages and The Other Mother are both examples of her talent for creating suspense and emotional depth. The Snowstorm is a thrilling and suspenseful addition to her bibliography, and it is sure to captivate readers with its compelling characters and gripping plot.


I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good thriller, and I look forward to seeing what Goodman has in store for us next.
