The past you put behind you will come about soon enough. “In Winter’s Grip” tells the story of Maja Cleary, who abandons her home town after her mother’s death. But when her father dies, she finds her departure cannot be permanent as she must face the cruelty that she so desperately tried to put behind her. A story of murder, dysfunction, and the search for truth and justice, “In Winter’s Grip” is a fine story and a very highly recommended one.
