Author/narrator Ann Lambert’s sequel to THE BIRDS THAT STAY grabs attention from its beginning, when the first blizzard flakes are falling on Montreal, to its chilling conclusion. DI Romeo Leduc and Professor Marie Russell search for the person who murdered several homeless people. When a murdered girl’s body is found with a photo in her pocket bearing Leduc’s phone number, Marie and Romeo deepen their investigation, which reveals the twisted mind of a killer who preys on the marginalized. Lambert explores violence against the homeless, racially motivated abuse of First Nation people, systemic racism, and police apathy. She delivers visually appealing descriptions of Montreal, believable characters, and authentic-sounding Canadian accents. A fine series, well written and beautifully read. S.J.H.

The sequel to The Birds That Stay - hailed by The Globe and Mail as one of “Ten Thrillers That Will Keep You On the Edge of Your Seat Until Summertime” and included on Book Riot's list of “Highly Anticipated Crime Novels.” The Dogs of Winter begins after a howling snowstorm envelops Montreal, and the body of a young woman is discovered in its wake. The only clue to her identity is the photograph in her pocket, and on it, the phone number of Detective Inspector Romeo Leduc. Meanwhile, Marie and Romeo are busy navigating their deepening relationship, and a student at Marie's college is the victim of a terrible assault. While Romeo begins to think that the dead woman may be linked to violence against several homeless people in the city, the search for justice in both cases is thwarted by societal apathy and ignorance, even as the killer is stalking the frigid streets of Montreal, preying on and terrorizing its most vulnerable citizens.
