A Fatal Thaw by Dana Stabenow
4.0
I have some qualms about the plot of this book. At least in formulating it in my review. The book is fine, except that the summary of the plot does not do justice to the writing of the book.
The vocab and the details and the mood of the Alaskan people herein are delightfully shown on a broad canvass, which itself is a tour de force because the author had to juggle the mystery and the world building.
You get all of that in less than 250 pages. It's incredible. That is why I didn't want to encapsulate(this is a word I googled) the plot. It doesn't matter that it's two books in a row that I didn't award a full 5 star rating to this series. It's all technicalities. Now I take your leave, if you will.
