This was a surprisingly interesting murder mystery set in remote Canada. Although part of a series, I found it easy to read as a stand-alone novel and aside from one or two brief mentions of past mysteries, everything still made sense. The characters were well-developed and each had their own motives and backgrounds. The murder mystery itself was perfectly balanced with the "vet" side of things and the injured huskies, and I found this unique approach to the detective novel intriguing. The killer didn't become obvious until the last few chapters but everything happened quickly enough that the realisation didn't bore or annoy me. Definitely would recommend to animal lovers with a preference for murder mysteries!
