Murder in a Snow Covered Town and Other Stories

This book features nine short mystery and suspense stories sure to entertain, surprise, and intrigue the reader.

In the short story, Murder in a Snow Covered Town, private investigator Robert Douglas has been commissioned to help find his 10-year-old daughter, who has mysteriously disappeared. The private eye began by looking at the family with a grief-stricken mom, angry dad, jealous older brother, and a seemingly senile grandma. The seasoned private eye sensed something wasn’t quite right about this case. What was it, and would he figure it out in time?

In another story, Murder is a Deadly Game, four guests arrive separately at a gated mansion: an aggressive prosecutor, lead detective, star eye-witness, and head juror. They realize they all played a central role in the conviction of Carols Rivera ten years earlier. They soon meet their host for the evening: recent prison escapee Carols Rivera.

Customer Reviews

After reading “Murder in a Country Town” and being impressed with Lee’s clever plots and suspenseful style, I bought this book (note to the author: why are all of your book titles the same??). Very pleased with this book too — he’s obviously a really good writer and some of his stories are insanely clever (others are just good, but it’s worth buying his books for the truly great ones — there are many). I’ll definitely buy the third book; I hope he comes out with another one.

“Suspense par excellence best describes the mystery short stories penned by Eric. His style carries you uncomfortably toward the end and then snaps you comfortably back to reality. These stories would work great in developing skills of critical thinking. Stories like “Murder in the Suburbs”, “Painful Decision”, and “I Will Live Before I Die” are all classics. They’ll be in your mind months after you read them. I have read most of his work and consider “Murder in a snow covered town” TOPS!

Richard

Murder in a Snow Covered Town is the third volume of Eric Lee’s collection of short stories. In this volume, he brings back the brilliant ex-inspector, Henry Burrows, and shows us the softer, but no less brilliant side of the character. Eric Lee is a talented story teller and I am looking forward to reading more of his writing.

He’s an amazing writer, makes you sweat. I finished his other book in one sitting.

Sophia

I’ve been a devotee of Eric Lee’s work since my purchase of his first book “Murder in the Country Town and Other Stories”, a truly riveting writing. His technique engages and captures the reader into a suspenseful page-turner. His 3rd book “Murder in a Snow Covered Town” is equally captivating, jolting and heart-expanding. Ex-inspector Henry Burrows is worthy of comparison to Agatha Christie’s “Hercule Poirot”. A MUST READ!!!
