Publisher's summary

The gripping new Kate Shugak novel by New York Times bestselling author Dana Stabenow. What seems a tragic accident soon becomes a murder investigation as Kate is drawn into a case of political intrigue.

A mid-air collision in the Alaskan wilderness between two small aircraft leaves ten people dead. Was it a bird strike, pilot error... or premeditated murder?

Then an eleventh body is found in the wreckage: a man shot gangland style, twice in the chest and once in the head.

In an investigation that reaches to the highest levels of government, justice may not be served, but Kate Shugak is determined that the truth will out, even at the risk of her life and the lives of those she loves most.

Love Kate, family & Park Rats

The old Kate returns! A bit political, although fiction, the story runs true! Looking forward to the next adventure!

Timely Issues addressed

Scary far right, far left not much better. Let's hear it for those of us hanging out somewhere in the middle.

Slow Story and Sad Narration

I’m asking if Dana Stabenow wrote this book. Somehow it’s lost its charm. The story is slow to start and finally improves around chapter 6. Also she’s resurrected characters from the dead. The biggest disappointment is the narrator. I had difficulty identifying the characters as she has degraded to “reading” the story versus prior “performances”. I guess my expectations are too high.

Excellent story and narrator

Dana Stabenow never disappoints and I can’t imagine a better narrator. Current, timely and sharp.

Big fan

I’ve read all the Kate books. Love them & the characters. More & more I see politics creeping into novels I read. We get enough crammed down our throats daily. I like to escape when reading so let’s just please stick to the story.

Not My Favorite

I have loved them all, but I agree with many of the reviews in that I think this one was too political. Not all republicans are right wing crazies and not all Christians are fire and brimstone. I for one am a republican and a Christian and I embrace all races and genders. Also I felt the epilogue was too doomsday. I read to get away from all the craziness in the world today, not happy to have more brought to me through fiction. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series, but this may be my last. It is a shame as I do love all the characters.

A Bit of a Disappointment

I always love visiting Alaska through these books, but the beginning of this one both jumps around and manages to drag. No worries as it will get going later, but it was a little disappointing. Some will not like it because politics creeps in, but sadly, it is part of the world now.

Love Kate's world and characters.

So appreciate the journey into Kate's world and appreciate another great story. I do wonder about the editing, as this book mentions Bernie's wife Enid as if she were still alive when she was murdered in a previous book. Then it is mentioned that there is a kitchen and food served at the Roadhouse when it is specifically mentioned in previous books that no food is served at Bernies.

Does Not Disapoint

Dana Stabenow & Kate Shugak still got it! The best Margarite Gavin's sounded. I really enjoyed the mystery and seeing where the cast of characters are now. We do get to see more of Kate's political views. But let's face it, we're in a tumultuous time, the climate is bound to effect authors' works.
