Search - Breakup (Kate Shugak)

This is my first read of this author and I wasn't impressed. It was supposed to be a mystery, but it wasn't much of one. She tried to throw in a little romance, but it was forced, and the main romantic interest barely made it into the plot. The multitude of ridiculous occurrences was amusing, but the plot was hollow and I never came to care about any of the characters.

Liked this book. Not quite a cozy and occasional language or adult themes but it was a quick and good read. Set in Alaska at ice and snow break up time when people start to go a little crazy.

Great! Unique.

This was my first time reading this author and I was very impressed. Loved the story, one that has plenty of action and plan on reading the rest of the series as I can aquire them.

pretty good read

Breakup in Alaska is the period of spring thaw when everyone seems to go a little crazy.It is also the time bears are coming out of hibernation and so something falling out of the sky fits right in.It is Murphy's Law in action.

chaos reigns after the spring thaw in kate's life. a good read

Spring breakup is a "weird" time, anyway, it is for Kate Shugak this year. Along with her taxes, she must deal with a jet engine crashing into her yard, rampaging bears, family feuds, dead bodies, and of course, murder.
