A Solitude of Wolverines
by Alice Henderson
This book hit several high notes for me. I love spending hours alone in the outdoors—the farther from cities and crowds, the better—observing nature and watching creatures, great and small, over time. Beyond that, I’m always drawn to a good thriller or mystery featuring a confident, intelligent, and good-hearted protagonist. And if there’s a whip-crack of action in the final act? Even better.
A Solitude of Wolverines was my favorite kind of page-turner from the very first chapter. Our heroine, Alex Carter, is immediately likable and reliable—someone I’d genuinely want to know. I found myself invested in her from the start, fully on board with her passion for preserving wild spaces and protecting the endangered creatures that inhabit them.
Beneath Alex’s professional mission lies a greed-driven horror that seamlessly weaves into the story, challenging her resolve at every turn. She’s sturdy, intelligent, and fearless in facing it head-on. There’s also an intriguing layer of mystery with hints of military/special operator elements (perhaps?), which left me both curious and eager to learn more.
As I read, I kept hoping I’d get to spend more time with this character—and I was thrilled to discover that there are (as of this review) two more books in the Alex Carter series. If you love the outdoors and thrillers, you can’t go wrong with this one.
One final note: I found this book at a discount overstock store for about four dollars—the cover and title caught my eye, and the synopsis piqued my interest. I love when I stumble upon a hidden gem like this. Needless to say, I’ve already ordered the next two books in the series.
