“Banville sets up and then deftly demolishes the Agatha Christie format…superbly rich and sophisticated.”—New York Times Book Review
The incomparable Booker Prize winner’s next great crime novel—the story of a family whose secrets resurface when a parish priest is found murdered in their ancestral home
Detective Inspector St. John Strafford has been summoned to County Wexford to investigate a murder. A parish priest has been found dead in Ballyglass House, the family seat of the aristocratic, secretive Osborne family.
The year is 1957 and the Catholic Church rules Ireland with an iron fist. Strafford—flinty, visibly Protestant and determined to identify the murderer—faces obstruction at every turn, from the heavily accumulating snow to the culture of silence in the tight-knit community he begins to investigate.
As he delves further, he learns the Osbornes are not at all what they seem. And when his own deputy goes missing, Strafford must work to unravel the ever-expanding mystery before the community’s secrets, like the snowfall itself, threaten to obliterate everything.
Beautifully crafted, darkly evocative and pulsing with suspense, Snow is “the Irish master” (New Yorker) John Banville at his page-turning best.

Did not finish.. I’m assuming this author’s other books must be good, but 20% of the way through I stopped reading, wondering if this book even had an editor. Bad, awkward prose full of pointless metaphors and interminable sentences. Sloppy and sometimes confusing point of view. Rookie fiction errors.
Poor plot. Poor plot
A good read. I enjoyed the descriptions of the family and The sense of place. I did notice a few details discrepancies that careful editing would have caught - I didn’t quite see the point of one character’s flat head(pun)
Beautifully done mystery. This is a traditional murder at the isolated house with a twist, the house is in Ireland and the victim a Catholic priest.
One of the worst books I’ve ever read.. Terrible.
It was okay. It was okay. Glad that I only paid a few $ for it. I knew who did it long before the end and the priest is just creepy. The character makes the entire book uncomfortable to read, honestly. Did not need the detail.
Lucky he’s Banville. Derivative without any joy for the genre, relying on the worst stereotypes and cliches.
Didn’t disappoint. Great suspense. Beautiful descriptions.
