Product Description

Product Description

Spring has arrived in The Park. The snow is melting, the birds are singing, the wolves are frolicking… and somewhere, in a lonely cabin along the road to Niniltna, a man’s sanity is breaking. Soon, nine people will be dead, seemingly the victims of a random act of violence—until a routine ballistics test reveals that one of the murders was anything but random. Once again the Anchorage DA’s department must turn to their former investigator, Kate Shugak, to uncover a calculating killer, hiding in plain sight.

The second novel in Stabenow's Edgar Award-wining series of Alaskan mysteries, A Fatal Thaw vividly captures life in America's last frontier, filled with unique hardships, quirks and rewards.

Really enjoyable 9 Feb 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I downloaded the first Kate Shugak story for free and enjoyed it so much I paid for this one straight away. I wasn't disappointed with the second book either. We got to find out more about Kate and her past and the author does a good job of fleshing out a lifestyle that many of us probably do not know much about. Will be buying the rest of the series in due course.

Its not really the depth of the mystery that catches the imagination but the colourful description of Alaskan life in the raw that steals the show in this book. Whilst the storyline is interesting and certainly holds its own, I am fascinated with the author's take on life 'in the park'. She obviously knows her stuff and writes from personal experience of Alaskan life. The characters are interesting and all hold promise of more depth, not yet revealed. Perhaps we will get to know some of them even better in future books. The main character, Kate Shugak, is herself a remarkable person. I wonder if she is ,in fact, based on the author. Living in the 'park' deep in Alaska and of native origin, she presents as a modern woman who struggles to cope with the balance of modern, independent living and holding onto the values of her cultural and spiritual heritage. She has clearly enjoyed a taste of twenty first century life as an investigator in Anchorage but she has chosen to retreat to her homestead in the park with her companion, a wolf dog. Yet her retreat is only partial as she continues to hold on to the ties of her past, including her love interest, her ex investigator boss. It is this angle which provides a motive for her to explore the lives of the other characters as she attempts to solve the underlying mystery of the book.It is not a question of who killed the many victims slaughtered in the opening chapter, but who killed the one victim and why. I suspect it will be similar with the whole series of Kate Shugak's books, the real issue being not the seperate incidents of each book, but rather the question being is Kate for this world or for the seclusion of the 'park'! I look forward to reading them all in order to discover the answer.

A great read 17 April 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I thoroughly enjoyed this book especially as I have visited Alaska - not in the winter time I would mention but the detail was very good and the story line kept you guessing until the end. Have purchased a few other books written by Dana and hope that these will be just as good.
