I downloaded this book because the description got my attention. I’ve always liked mystery/suspense novels with a lot of drama and character insight involved, and I must say that “Winter Soon” did not disappoint me.This is the story of a man who is forced by the circumstances to do something he would have never agreed to otherwise: to cover the accidental murder of an innocent man. I liked John Mason the moment I met him. From his group of friends, he seemed to be the most rational, but also the most troubled one. It’s easy to root for him because he is so realistic and believable. Actually, the author did a great job at developing all of his characters.John cannot live with the guilt, so he decides to go back to the town where the accident happened and see how the investigation is going. As expected, no one suspects him or his friends, but this means than another innocent man is about to suffer, and John cannot let that happen. This is why I liked the main character so much: he did something wrong and now he is trying to make things right and, maybe, even obtain forgiveness. There were times when I didn’t agree with his actions, but there were also times when I had to admit that he didn’t have a better option.I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys character-driven stories that also raise interesting questions regarding morality, forgiveness, and what doing the right thing really means.
