Dead in the Water by Dana Stabenow
5.0
I wondered where Dana Stabenow would take the third of her Kate Shugak series to not continue killing off the community Kate lives in but she has very successfully taken this to the Aleutian Islands. Kate is once again working undercover for her lover, Jack, trying to determine what happened to two missing fisherman. The descriptions of fishing in Bering Sea, the Aleutian Islands themselves and the interaction between the world of professional fishing and big business and the native Aleuts are fabulous.
This book is more action thriller (with at least one unlikely scene) than classic detective story as she has written in the past but is still highly enjoyable. In fact I found quite a bit of this story edge of the seat stuff which definitely contrasts with the previous book. Although there is at least one classic red herring.
It's fascinating to see how flexible and widely talented Ms Stabenow is while staying true to the character of Kate Shugak. No anachronisms, poor grammer or weirdly unlikely character behaviour here. I'm very much enjoying this series and have not only been recommending it but have bought the opening three books for my Dad.
