After reading this the second book in author Stabenow's installment of Kate Shugak mysteries, I can say it is somewhat of an improvement over her 1st attempt at a novel. Still for me there is something lacking in the story, some of the characters I will admit I do like such as her friend Bobby a disabled veteran of the Vietnam wars who is colorful and humorous, and Bernie the bartender of a local bar. They add to the writing, but that is about where it stops. The story for me was somewhat predictable, slows at times, and didn't have much suspense. The book I would say overall didn't lag, as it was only 198 pages, yet the pages didn't exactly fly off for me either! I am used to reading a lot of mysteries and some of my favorite authors I can't wait to pick another one of their books that they have penned, while so far I have used Stabenow's books as a filler in between them as such. I am probably going to give a few more of her novels a shot in hopes that as the second improved on the 1st, maybe the third will improve on the 1st and second!!
