Unveiling Winter’s Secrets: Val McDermid’s Riveting Journey Through the Season’s Darkest Mysteries
The beauty of Winter is in its deceptive simplicity, and I would be remiss in passing over the printmaking illustrations that amplify the evocative minimalism of McDermid’s prose. Philip Harris’s stills, sometimes of tranquil landscapes and sometimes of birds and rushing creeks mid-action, “[offer] a glimpse of nature in a beautifully bleak state,” in his own words.
Winter is truly an exquisite book to read, hold, and experience. You’ll find in it a companion through the dreary winter months that will encourage you to see the skeletal trees and blankets of snow through a different, maybe not-so-dreary light.
