Why read it?
2 authors picked A Shadow on the Snow as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a well-crafted mystery with elements of suspense.
I sometimes read in children's and young adult genres and think this book would be a great choice for the Christian young adult market. Rae, the main character is independent due to questions about who her real parents are. She has discovered her father but now someone is making threats involving questions about who her mother was.
The story will leave the reader guessing about the threats and who is trying to make Rae scared. JPC Allen is a fairly new author and I hope to see more of her work.
From Bettie's list on mysteries with a touch of suspense.
Allen’s writing style made me feel like I was right in the story with Rae.
For Rae’s intriguing backstory, read the short story “A Rose from the Ashes” found in Christmas Fiction off the Beaten Path.
Even if you don’t read the short story, you’ll be able to completely enjoy A Shadow on the Snow. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat!
I greatly appreciated the Christian themes woven throughout, how clean this book is (no swearing or sex), the way Rae’s father unconditionally loves his children, and the respect for law enforcement.
From M. Liz's list on fiction to encourage Christian teens in their faith.
