Just too sad and distressing for my taste.
Very good mystery set in Alaska, first in the series which I've read occasionally over the years. Seems to have an excellent feel for the area and based on my own experience with Native American tribes, an excellent sense of the people and local attitudes and politics.

With a wonderful sense of place, a barren, desolate...with some hardy souls place. A nice debut mystery from Ms. Stabenow. 3.5 stars
Loved reading about Alaska and I also love mysteries so this is a win-win book!!
