Kate, Mutt, Johny, Jim, Dan, Bernie, Gal.... I love all these characters. They've all been through some seriously hard times in the last two books and are finding some bits of happiness finally. I love the direction Kate is heading, it is a healing path. She has been living a life that has kept her from fully healing her past pains for so long.
There is a mystery, a good one. People close to Kate die, it's a tangled web filled with diversions, lies and horrible truths. That's all I'm going to say. For me this series is more about the Park family than the mysteries solved that is just the bonus. I can't wait to start the next book

A Fine and Bitter Snow by Dana Stabenow is another great alaskan adventure with P.I. Kate Shugak, this time it starts with some troubling news that the current park ranger is being replaced. Then it goes to murder and a sad story about things that happened long ago. It is also a great story about Chopper Jim trying to get together with Kate. I really enjoyed reading this.

Plot was good, but thin. Way too much Jim/Kate canoodling. I'm not sure why authors who are on a great mystery/adventure/wilderness streak feel the need to try to turn it into a romance.

Very good book. A little heavy on some of the description but it left me wanting more (and wanting more NOW) so I'm giving it five stars.
