Edgar-award winning author Dana Stabenow is best known for her Kate Shugak novels, but the unifying protagonist of almost all her writing - be it crime, fantasy, horror, or science fiction - is Alaska. This genre-spanning collection of 16 short stories features familiar characters like Kate and Jim, Liam and Wy, and Bill and Moses, but also ranges farther afield than many listeners will expect.

Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

not sure about Marguerite
I have trouble believing it's Marguerite Gavin reading this one. She is SO amazingly talented and has performed all the others beautifully. Maybe this one was the first she recorded before she 'found' the voices of the characters? The story is wonderful and even not at her best, Marguerite is a stellar performer.

Kate, lost in grief, is found by Jim Chopin
"Midnight Come Again" opens like a Tom Clancy novel with a rogue Russian military unit killing people in an armed robbery in Moscow.
It was well written and intriguing but it left me with one big question: where is Kate Shugak?
I'm fairly sure this is the reaction that Dana Stabenow expected me to have as this is the question the whole novel sets out to answer.
The events in most of this novel are not seen from Kate's point of view but from Jim Chopin's. Jim has been asking around the Park to see if anyone knows where Kate is. No-one has any information for him but they all expect him to bring her back. Jim's search is cut short when he is sent undercover, working with the FBI to try and find a high-profile Russian crime boss who is thought to be in port. By chance, his assignment brings him face to face with Kate.
The Kate he meets is not the Kate Shugak I knew in the first nine books. She has literally vanished. Kate cannot or will not face that she is alive and Jack Morgan is dead. She has left her home, her friends and even her name behind. She is lost in guilt and grief and anger. Yet she does not curl up in a corner or dive into a bottle. She works, hard and long, mastering new tasks running an air-taxi/freight service. Kate shapes how the world she works in is organized because she doesn't know how NOT to do that. She works because work is better than having time to think and much, much better than having time to feel. Kate has a job but she doesn't really have a life. This seems to have been her goal: to be "the working dead".
Her meeting with Jim Chopin begins events that will force her out of the Hide she has built for herself. She becomes embroiled in the case and she becomes angry at Jim. It seemed to me that she rages at him because he is full of life and he will not let her deny her own life.
The plot in "Midnight Come Again" is strong, relatively complex and darker than some of the other books. I was struck by the contrast between Kate's drinking session with Russian seamen in this book and her session with the Russian sailors in "Dead In The Water." In "Dead In The Water" the session was lightly flirtatious, Kate was in control and there was nothing more sinister in the room than an exuberant excess of testosterone. In "Midnight Come Again" the drinking session has an undercurrent of threat, Kate is damaged and vulnerable, and there is serious cause to worry about her.
Kate is dragged back to herself, not just by Jim Chopin but through contact with an old school friend and her family. Kate is given a context for how she is seen by others, learns new things about her grandmother and incurs a moral debt towards a young girl.
The emerging dynamic between Kate and Jim injects fresh emotional conflict while also dealing realistically with reactions to grief. Not just Kate's grief for Jack Morgan, but Jim's grief for seeming to lose the woman Kate used to be.
This book is a good stand-alone thriller. It is also a very skillful bridge between the Kate we knew before the events of "Hunter's Moon" and the Kate who is finding her way after it. The emotional tone is perfect and made "Midnight Come Again" a very satisfying read.
The title sounded like a quote but I wasn't familiar with the source. An Internet search suggested that it might be from Theodore Roethke's poem "A Dark Time." The tone seems right. It's a good poem. Go HERE to read it for yourself

What happened to Marguerite Gavin
Would you be willing to try another one of Marguerite Gavin’s performances?
I have listened to several series narrated by Maguerite Gavin which I have loved and I find it really hard to believe this is her.... This is not the voice of Kate.

lost but not dead...
I have to admit, it took me a long time to get around to listening to this book after the devastating end of the last book. I am glad I finally did because the story was very good, although a little bit of a slower start than Stabenow's usual. What got me was the narrator. I actually had to stop and check to make sure it was Marguerite Gavin. The voices had lost a lot of the magic that pulls you in as a listener. I read another review with a similar feeling and wonder if this was recorded before some of the earlier books. I will continue the series and hope that she gets back into her groove!

Another Fine Stabenow Work
It was difficult to read this book, in that it was difficult to grieve so fully with someone like Kate. Stabenow handled that emotional challenge deftly, as well as the intricate plot and characterizations. I will say the narration seemed a bit lackluster. Either this was the first book Gavin narrated in the series (which would be odd and out of order, since she narrated the 10 before), or she was under the weather the whole time.

Really good.
I have to admit I read the reviews of the one before this and because I couldn't face losing Jack Morgan I didn't read it. I'll go back at the end and get to it then.
That said, this is very good. I like Chopper Jim and it's nice to see Kate come out of the haze of pain.
Thank goodness for Mutt.
As usual Marguerite Gavin did a wonderful job. I love the audio of these books so much.

I don't know why I stopped reading this series, but, I'm putting it back in my rotation. Midnight Come Again is an engrossing and compelling book with realistic characters and a well developed mystery. I really like this book and look forward to the next book in this series.

Strong and Resiliant
While the beginning was extremely sad, I love the way that Kate did not wallow in self-pity or whine endlessly. This series is so engrossing because Kate is strong, independent and resilient.
I wish more current women authors would create self-confident female characters like Kate, rather than the weak, submissive wimps so popular in recent romantic fiction. Thanks Dana!

Jim Chopin, rather than Kate, is star of the show.
Book #9 was my favorite to that point, and it still is. This book finds Kate missing from her home, out-of-touch with friends and family, hiding from her grief and anger. Jim is hoping to find her but first is sent on a one month under-cover assignment. Of course, he finds Kate, as well as a whole mess of trouble. Of course Kate gets involved in the story and in the end they both return to their homes safe and on the road to healing. It is a good story and a good book. But, Bonny has been MIA for three books. Jack is out of the story now. And Kate wasn't the Kate I have grown to love. Even Alaska has less of a role here.
I hope that book 11 brings back many of these because they are what I love about the series.
