First, the disclaimer. "I was provided a free copy of this book. All opinions are my own." That done, IN THE SHADOW OF DENALI was a very exciting book that held my attention from the first page to the very last. From the prologue it is very apparent who the bad guy is, but there is some remaining questions as to how, even though the why is clearly answered.

I liked Allan and John. They both were hurting from the tragedy and both needed to heal and stop placing blame. I liked Thomas too, he was a dear, clumsy boy who was too eager for approval (which made him even clumsier.)

Cassidy is a bit quick tempered, judgmental, and it took awhile for me to even begin to like her.

The main draw for this story was the historical details, a presidential visit to Alaska, and the mystery. The romance was there, but lacking. It was still a very enjoyable read.
