    About this audiobook

    In the latest thriller in the Edgar Award-winning Kate Shugak series, the intrepid Alaskan detective investigates the murder of a man whom nobody even knew was missing. Although everyone knew town handyman Len Dreyer, he was also a mystery. When Dreyer's body turns up, frozen for months in the path of a receding glacier with a shotgun hole in his chest, State Trooper Jim Chopin asks Kate to help him investigate Dreyer's background in hopes of finding a motive for his murder. She takes the case in order to provide for the teenaged boy now in her care, a constant reminder of his father, her dead lover. Little does she imagine that in trying to provide for him she may be putting him in the path of danger.

      Another fine story in the Kate Shugak series. A body is found floating in glacial meltwater and a few more occur before Kate figures it out. The book has all the familiar characters, plus a few more. Chopper Jim's emotional outburst broke the cast I had in mind for him: intractable, inscrutable, solid cop...not so much. If I could choose a theme, it would be: "Alaskan winters can drive you nuts"...another fine portayal of Alaska's culture that us Outsiders just don't get.
    • 4/5
      This was my first Kate Shugak mystery and of course since I was reading smack dab in the middle of the series, I felt completely left out about what's gone on with the characters! But it's definately a series I will come back to in the future.
    • 5/5
      When Johnny starts his assigned summer journal, meant to be a simple chronicle of the wildlife he sees around the Park, little does he know that his life is about to be even more complicated than it's already been (and for a fourteen-year-old, he's had some major complications). A frozen stiff - pardon the pun - discovered in a pool of meltwater under a rapidly receding glacier would have been disturbing enough, but the hole blasted through the corpse's chest leaves little room for doubt - it was murder. Called in to investigate by Chopper Jim, Kate quickly learns that the victim had more than a few things to hide. Things heat up quickly after that as sparks fly between Jim & Kate. Arson, family relations of the unpleasant variety, and plenty of Mutt lappings round out the pages.There are a few loose ends that don't get tied up, and I figured out who-dun-it (even if why was a surprise) fairly early on. Perhaps not Stabenow's most riveting work, but I enjoyed the by-play between Jim & Kate anyway.
    • 3/5
      I like this series. I have not read it in order. Maybe a little sentimental at the end of this one.
