Jim Snowden

My curiosity about the case and how Rolf would manage to find the killer given all the obstacles put in his path by the Nazis enabled me to overlook the flaws, and I was satisfied with the ending. The book took a little horror-novel turn toward the end, but that just increased the excitement, especially since I didn’t find it overly graphic. Overall, I thought The Summer of Long Knives was an interesting novel about a fascinating period in history.

I won this book in a Library Thing giveaway in exchange for a review. Thank you, Mr. Snowden, for autographing the novel and sending it to me.

I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. There was enough suspense to keep me turning the pages. The novel was heartbreaking in so many ways and displays what a serious illness can do to a family. It shows how people react and handle their grief in different ways.

The author developed effective characters, all of them memorable. Their interactions were unpredictable, but always interesting.

I look forward to the talented Mr. Snowden's next novel. He pulls the deepest feelings and emotions from his characters. Great job!!… (mer)
