Welcome to Litsy!

This installment had me laughing out loud for a good chunk of the story.
Kate finds herself working as a roustabout for an oil company in AK. As much as she‘s conflicted about the environmental issues, she can‘t walk away from the money offered to shut down a drug ring that‘s causing havoc and even death. After she arrives she also discovers artifacts are being stolen and sold for an exorbitant profit. She finds herself unexpectedly enjoying 🔻

This is the 4th Kate Shugak mystery. Kate is sent to crack a drug ring at an oil rig north of the Arctic Circle. She finds herself strangely drawn to the life of excess: rich food, a sauna, maid service. She needs to solve the case and get herself back home before it‘s too late, in more ways than one. The end of this book had me in tears. Kate Shugak rules! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We find out who the bad guys are about 2/3 through this, the 4th entry in the Kate Shugak series, up to which point the author is just immersing us in life on an oil base at Prudhoe Bay up past the Arctic Circle, and she does a very good job of it, too. The obligatory danger and violence followed by the wrap-up and epilogue were competently done but didn't really provide as much of a thrill or emotional satisfaction as they could have.
