Can't put it down!
Nonstop acton from start to finish. This book was a page turning delight, with no slow points. Character development was strong - you got a feel for everyone introduced and returning characters remained consistent with their growth.
While one can pick this book up blind, having the background knowledge to these characters is advised for the full story and why certain parts matter so much.
This is one of my favorite series and it definitely didn't disappoint!

3.75 stars - not my favorite of the series but still a solid installation.

Another day, another mystery Casey Duncan must solve without most of the assets a modern detective expects to have available to them. In this case, she finds a dead woman while following the sounds of a crying baby. While searching for the baby's parents and the identity of the woman, she and Eric also have to face the question of the future of their relationship as well as dealing with more unraveling of his past. The mystery is solid, but the inter-relationships of the characters and the danger in the setting are what makes this series shine.

This series just gets better and better. When a baby is found Casey searches high and low for the parents while dealing with the sudden realization that children may be something she wants in the future.
I received and ARC from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

It’s never boring in the Yukon and there is plenty for Eric & Casey to do and if not? Well they drum up their own work!
This author has truly created a unique world with different factions battling to be top dog in the Yukon or at least to not look weak. We have the hostiles (wild people), the first settlement, the second settlement, various trappers and traders and Rockton.
We get to see and explore more of the outside world of the Yukon and there are characters added and they are given a lot more depth and it was refreshing to see something new and for the world to develop.
Casey and Eric are out camping to recharge their batteries when Casey hears something in the woods that sounds like a baby. It is the middle of winter and Casey does find a baby wrapped up and being protected by a dead woman.
Casey & Eric have baggage that they still need to deal with but the one thing ideally the ending would have been different and in a way, I get why it isn’t but I wonder how that avenue shall be tackled.
The only right thing to do is take the baby back to Rockton, to solve the murder and to find the baby’s parents. Not easy when you don’t have a lot of evidence to go on. I don’t want to give too much away so I’ll leave it at that. Because the population of the Yukon is so small it is astounding how many crazy people live there or they just stick out more.
Not the best start to 2020 but all in all, I really enjoy this series but a very important aspect how many more books can you write before you get stuck in a rut or that the ideas run out? Personally, I think we are getting to that point but heck I shall still read the next book of the series. Alas, I can only give it three stars though.
