Alaskan mystery!

A Cold Day for Murder (Kate Shugak #1) by Dana Stabenow  

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I tell you, I literally breathed the cold of the mountain air, I heard the grand silence, and I felt Aleut woman Kate Shugak’s dismay, her hurt, and importantly her love for Alaska and it’s wilderness.

The National Park she lives in covers twenty million acres. A ranger has been missing for six weeks, and an FBI agent who was strangely investigating the disappearance, for two.

Kate, a former District Attorney Investigator, now doing private consulting, has been called to follow up on these disappearances. She’s from the area, she’s whip smart, and has a way of cutting through to the truth.

Only Kate  doesn’t want to do it. She lives out in the wilderness with her wolf dog Mutt, her top of the line Arctic Cat machine, and her injuries from a previous case. We’re not sure what it was but her throat was cut. She has an unsightly scar and a hoarse voice.

What she does know is that the two missing are two men she’d worked with before. Where are they? And are her family involved?

A great start to a new adventure series set in the wilds of Alaska where the only way in is plane or up a disused railway track.

A Park full of interesting characters, from her astute grandmother, various cousins, old time miners, to a couple of drunken dimwits.

I was living the thrill, and the despair of it all!
