A Fatal Thaw by Dana Stabenow
3.0
Kate Shugak has her hands full when she manages to stop a serial killer on a rampage in her own backyard. Except this time, everyone within the vicinity is killed by a psycho with a rifle except for one lady. Thought to be included with the others, it turns out that Lisa Getty was shot by someone else. Now, how can that be?
Back for a second time around are Jack Morgan, Chopper Jim and Bobby Clark. And protective Mutt; this time she has a lover, too. As usual, Jack gets Kate to work the case using her keen insight. There is lots of sleuthing in northern Alaska and Kate holds her own.
Ms. Stabenow does a nice job giving the reader just enough clues to prolong the suspense. And, like the first book in the series, the townspeople are still quirky eccentrics which add to the story's flavor. Kate is a kick-butt heroine with an attitude who won't take no for an answer. If you love mysteries with a strong female lead, look for this series but be sure to start with A COLD DAY FOR MURDER to learn about Kate's background.
