Book Description:
In Dana Stabenow's latest novel, a woman hires Aleutian P.I. Kate Shugak to clear her mother's name. Twenty years ago, the mother was convicted of arson and murder, of setting fire to the family home while her two sons were inside. One died, and one was maimed. Her daughter has always believed in her innocence, though the mother herself had accepted the verdict and the life sentence without protest. Now the mother is terminally ill, and her daughter wants her free. But as Kate begins the investigation, it seems the mother isn't the only one who wants to leave the past in the past. In this spell-binding crime novel, Kate must confront twenty years of secrets and regret--and murder--in one of Alaska's most powerful families.

Not a bad book, just not as good as the others in the series. Character development takes a backseat to the story, with a plot that is complex, convoluted and involves the most unlikeable cast of characters imaginable. If you are new to the series, start at the beginning.

I have read all of Stabenow's Kate Shugak books. I think this one is one of the best of the lot.
