Description
The sequel to The Birds That Stay - hailed by the New York Journal of Books as "a fascinating and gripping tale of suspense" and the Globe and Mail as one of "Ten thrillers that will keep you on the edge of your seat". Says Ann Cleeves of the new book: "it's about power and powerlessness in the dead of winter. And more than that, it's a rollicking good read."
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.

Before I started this book I went back and read the first one. That got me hooked so I eagerly got started on this one. I was not disappointed in the story line or the characters and I do hope there will be others in this series.
This book followed currents issues prevalent in our society with the disappearance and disregard of indigenous women and the "Me Too" movement. The setting of this narrative is Canada and they are not immune to these problems either. The combination of a police inspector and a retired marine biologist may seem out of place but they make it work and aid each other in tracking down a very sadistic killer with an unhinged personality, with coworkers taking care of the well known celebrity with a dirty secret.
If you enjoy the works of Louise Penney I urge you to give this one a try. I don't believe you will be disappointed.

Good mystery with interesting characters. Marie is a college professor who teaches about whales. Her paramour, Romeo, is a police detective. when homeless and indigenous people are found dead, Romeo believes that the deaths are not accidental and when Marie tries to help a student who has been the victim of a sexual assault, she doesn't realize that her situation might be linked to Romeo's investigation. Lambert develops a fine mystery but her true strength is giving us characters that we truly care. Great second installment in what is sure to be a long running series. My only complaint is that there are so many characters to keep track of initially that the story was a bit confusing at times.
