Alaska State Trooper Jim Chopin is a friend and he is searching for her when he is sent to Bering to work undercover. He unexpectedly finds Kate there. There is Jim‘s undercover job and a huge mystery to solve. This is book ten in the series and a less emotional than number nine. A good story. 4/5⭐️

Dana Stabenow has written another mystery set in the Park in Alaska. PI Kate Shugak is on the job this time trying to assist State Trooper “Chopper Jim” solve a murder. The regular characters are nice people. Mutt the half wolf dog plays an important part in entire series. Winter is cold in Alaska, bringing the residents closer. How many will die before the killer is captured? 4⭐️

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 3rd in the Kate Shugak Investigations series, and I think what I love most about this series so far (other than the spunky, tough-as-nails Kate) is the originality of the storylines/plots. This one finds Kate undercover working on an Alaskan fishing trawler in the Bering Sea attempting to discover what happened to two former crew members and investigating allegations of corruption and fraudulence of the team. Love the writing, love the 🔻

Now for some crime...

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⭐️

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, 🔻

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.
