AudiobookAnother book that proves I either have prognostication powers or I read it before. I kept thinking, "This sounds familiar" throughout the whole book. The mystery conclusion was really sad because things could have turned out so much better if people would stop thinking only about themselves...
3.8 starsWonderful first book in a series, I am hooked. Alaskan setting, tough Alaskan woman with scars, fab dog/wolf sidekick, and snarky side characters all wrapped around a decent story !

I had to check more than once that this was actually the first book of the series, because ...
This free ebook is an original setting for a murder mystery, the Alaskan wilderness, but the story itself and the writing are only so-so. There was too much description of the surroundings, and the author seems to be trying too hard to pepper her prose with local jargon, which ended up being an inco...
A bog standard whodunnit in some interesting scenery, lovely for a hard-work day when the mind wishes to disengage from the work at hand. I have the next two on fraudio and that is entirely acceptable.
