This review is from: The snow tiger (Hardcover)

This story is fascinating, as are most of Bagley's books, and is told in a somewhat more artistic style than most. The art is not simply gratuitous, however; Bagley did not simply decide to try something new for no reason. The story is actually two stories, one of the events leading up to an avalanche (the "Snow Tiger" of the title) and the other of the inquest that takes place afterward. It was necessary to tell the story of the events leading up to the avalanche as flashbacks, otherwise the inquest could not have been told in an interesting fashion. As always, Bagley's characters live and breathe, each speaking with his own unique voice, and his plot as always is never lacking for action. If you can find a copy of this book, or almost any of Bagley's works, I highly recommend it/them.

This review is from: The Snow Tiger (Audio Cassette)

Desmond bagley excels once again in this book that involves avalanches and law!! Snow tiger is a book that will appeal to those who like the John Grisham type of legal thrillers. This book deals with the story of a mining company director who has to clear his name. Desmond Bagley has woven all his characters with so much skill and bringing in believable legal issues that i would classify this book as unputdownable..
