Snow, Blood, Love by Ami Cameron, published 2018

 This is an excellent short story. The setting is good. An unexpected ending is good. Grandma's love warms your heart.

Because Jessica's grandma's house is decorated with does, the protagonist, Jessica, is familiar with guns. That's why Merideth's husband is shot to death. Grandma tells Jessica to let it go that she doesn't have anything to so with the murder. In the end Grandma reveals her crime to police by way of a letter.  Her crime has been carried to another world. "Good riddance" was the words Jessica's relatives say. So, nobody was responsible for his death. Jessica will have to carry the secret to her death. Grandmother's love for her daughter was so great that she killed her husband. 

The dream scene is too vivid. A dream is vague and normally vague, but this story depcts Jessica's dream vividly and clearly. That is against reality.

In the end, Meredith had something to do with the murder. That was a surprise. 

Logical and natual develoment of the story. Well written. 

The writer says, "Being authentic and real is important to me. Being fake just isn't an option." Her description of Jessica's dream is unreal.
