Helpful Score: 1

Re-reading this again after almost 20 years. There are quite few folks on Goodreads who just hated this book. I had to agree with some of the comments about flaws, but I didn't notice them while reading, and bottom line I found the book just as good as I remembered. Clare and Russ are very likable characters, and the scenery and winter conditions are expertly described. Clare is more than a bit naive in her first posting, jumping into situations without fully thinking it through. I liked the small-town murder aspect, and the scene with Clare in the woods is very suspenseful. Russ allowing Clare into so many of the investigation's details was rather implausible, but I was easily able to suspend disbelief and go with it.
