Liked it -- except for the ending, which was just too pat and nice. Considering all the trouble and heartache throughout the book, the ending was just too tidy.I thought at times that the portrayal of JJ (the teenager) was off-kilter, but I liked him nonetheless. Ray was too hapless to be believed a...
I had trouble getting into this book, and when I finally did, I kept reading and reading, hoping that something would happen and things would pick up. The murder mystery aspect was intriguing, but it seemed that all the others did was track others through the Canadian winter wilderness. I did thin...

Suspicions quickly settle on Frances, the adopted son of two of the community's earliest settlers, who has d...
An excellent mystery set in Ontario during the times when the Hudson's Bay Company was the end all and be all of the country. I loved the diversity of the characters, the hunt for the killer, and the references to places I know. The combination made for good reading.
This was an enjoyable historical mystery set in the Canadian wilderness in the middle of winter. The one thing that bugged me throughout is why all these people kept hiking through the snow and didn't use either skis or, more likely, snowshoes. Finally at the end of the book, someone was smart enoug...
