A Fatal Thaw | Dana Stabenow

Pickpick

I read this as a result of enjoying the first in series from my LMPBC group, and I enjoyed it even more than the first one. It‘s very dark and shocking with a crime within a crime and 2 different perpetrators…always a neat concept.
Continue to like and be intrigued by Kate‘s character as I learn more about her heritage and the isolated Alaskan community around her. Definitely will continue with the series. 4.5/5⭐️

Jerdencon I‘m hoping to get to this one too. 5d
bookandbedandtea I liked the first one enough to be interested in reading on so I'm glad to hear you think the next one is even better. 5d
robinb @Jerdencon @bookandbedandtea I‘m really enjoying Kate‘s character more and more. And this one is really dark and has an interesting plotline. 5d

A Cold Day for Murder | Dana Stabenow

Pickpick

A new author for me, this first in the Kate Shugak series, is centered around Kate, a native Aleut who works as a PI in Alaska. As an expert in her local Alaskan environs, she is asked to search for a park ranger who has been missing for 6 weeks and the FBI investigator who was sent to look for him.
I really enjoyed this book which is high on character development, a tight storyline, a suspense-filled plot, 🔻

robinb a surprise denouement and surprisingly, lots of humor. Kate is a force to be reckoned with…tough, resourceful and strong-willed. Along with her half-wolf, half-husky dog Mutt, there are a colorful array of community and law officials introduced and along for the ride as well. And I‘m happy to join the journey. 4.25/5 #LMPBC 2w
ShelleyBooksie Oh ho - this is my jam! Totally stacked. 2w
robinb @ShelleyBooksie I liked it so much that I immediately went ahead and read the next one 😂. 2w
CarolynM I have a friend who loves this series. I haven‘t tried it yet. Stacking this one as a reminder🙂 2w

I have enjoyed this series. Kate Shugak is a good character. The plot in this novel brought Covid and the January 6th insurrection into play. I did miss the interactions with the aunties, as it was minimal. I do love reading about Alaska and will probably always will.

Soubhiville I don‘t think I‘ve read any fiction that mentions the insurrection. Interesting. 2mo

As the spring thaw comes bears wake up hungry but is a bear responsible for this death?

The first 2/3 of this book was absolutely hilarious to the point where I didn't really care about the mystery element.

TheAromaofBooks For a minute I was so confused before I realized this post was from four months ago 😂 I've really enjoyed reading with you all as well!! I just started Celine this evening, so I probably won't have it in the mail until next week. @Jerdencon @robinb @bookandbedandtea 1mo
robinb @TheAromaofBooks I was trying to be thrifty. 😂😂😆 Sorry for the confusion. Your response gave me a chuckle today. 🤗 1mo
TheAromaofBooks @Jerdencon @robinb @bookandbedandtea - I did create another “Mystery/Thriller“ group for #LMPBC this round, so if any of you would like to read along with me again, feel free to sign up!! Apparently this is going to be the last round! 😢 1mo

Jerdencon Heading there to sign up too - I think I‘ve done almost all the rounds so might as well finish it out! 1mo

I bailed 28% in. #23 in the series. The story was about something different every chapter and lots and lots of description but little narrative.

TrishB I think I‘m at about number 11. I do find a lot of series start running out of ideas at about 15! 5mo

Mehso-so

This is still a good series to read but this was definitely my least favourite so far. There were way too many characters, Kate didn't seem to feature much, and the mystery wasn't really there.
