About the Book:
(The first book in the Snow White Trilogy series)

Lumikki Andersson has made it a rule to stay out of things that do not involve her. She knows all too well that trouble comes to those who stick their nose where it doesn't belong. But Lumikki's rule is put to the test when she uncovers thousands of washed Euro notes hung to dry in her school's darkroom and three of her classmates with blood on their hands. Literally.

A web of lies and deception now has Lumikki on the run from those determined to get the money back - no matter the cost. At the center of the chaos: Polar Bear, the mythical drug lord who has managed to remain anonymous despite his lavish parties and notorious reputation. If Lumikki hopes to make it out alive, she'll have to uncover the entire operation.

Even the cold Finnish winter can't hide a culprit determined to stain the streets red.

MY REVIEW:
Kicking off my reads for the 666 for 2023 reading challenge with a Finnish author and a book set in Tampere in Finland.
For the first 75 pages I was struggling somewhat with the simplistic writing and wafer thin plot, until it dawned on me that it’s a YA novel with teens running around (literally) making questionable decisions and saving the day.
A easy quick read (236 pages) and a count for this challenge nonetheless.

Another good choice J4Shaw. Lumikki is a great character. Her sense of self was really interesting. I like that she had a set of clear principles by which she operated in life - although these were challenged by the course of events. Although this is part of a trilogy, I think it works well as a stand alone novel.

Thank you for the book exchange, gaboyd. I have received this, along with one other book today. I definitely enjoy thrillers. I haven't read any of the books by this author.
