Third in the series, you'll miss some relationship stuff if you start here but shouldn't be a problem. Short, fast-paced, and lots of tension. More of a thriller than a mystery, since we're pretty sure who the bad guy is at the beginning and the motives become clear almost immediately. We don't get much in the way of character development for the crew, except for one, but it's made up for when Kate meets the little girl on the beach. I also liked the info on the Aleut people and what happened on the islands back in WWII. Excellent descriptions of the hardships on the boat as well.
