Series: Kate Shugak
by Author Dana Stabenow
A Fatal Thaw (1993)
Breakup (1998)
A Fine And Bitter Snow (2003)
The Kate Shugak mysteries are particular favorites of mine. The unique (to me, at least) settings of Alaska; the interesting cast of characters and Kate herself.Kate is small, dilignet, skilled and feels it is her duty to protect the way of life in "The Park"--the federal wildlife preseve on whi...
A Grave Denied (2004)
A Grave Denied"A Grave Denied" is not quite as light-hearted as "Breakup" was (duh! It has the word Grave in the title) but it is more upbeat than any book from "Hunter's Moon" onwards.Kate is no longer lost. She is coming back to herself and coming home. Of course, this being a Kate Shugak book,...
Midnight Come Again (2001)
I'm in the midst of reading this, the 10th (I believe) book in a series of Kate Shugak stories. After getting my kindle (the BEST gift David has ever given me), I've spent some time rediscovering books/authors I've read earlier in my life. I've read a few of the Kate Shugak books before, but ha...
A Cold Day For Murder (1992)
I rather enjoyed this, even though I've seen a lot of people say they were disappointed by it. As crime fiction goes, the mystery in here isn't particularly complex and the investigation doesn't take a lot of doing. But this book is as much about the community, the way of life and the people Kate...
A Deeper Sleep (2007)
Set in a National Park in Alaska, this series captures the isolation and at the same time, the sense of community in this place, where towns are damp, potlatches are held to remember the deceased, and moose marrow broth is the base ingredient in French onion soup.Kate Shugak, the central characte...
A Night Too Dark (2010)
Un excellent 17ème tome des aventures de Kate Shugak. Le développement de la mine d'or se poursuit, toujours à la phase d'exploration mais se précisant de plus en plus clairement.Un arrière plan complexe pour une intrigue à multiples entrées: Exploitation des ressources à profit commercial, prote...
Whisper To The Blood (2009)
As mysteries go, this one is a bit odd. For instance, the mystery from Ms Stabenow's last book is only solved at the end of this one. Also, the murder that would normally be the biggest puzzle of this book is given less importance than some other crimes in the Park.However, I read Stabenow for th...
Though Not Dead (2011)
This book has it all. Alaskan history and a who-done-it. If you have not read Stabenow's earlier Kate Shugak novels, no worries. While there may be references to past events, the knowledge of those events is not necessary for you to understand what is happening in this novel. This book blends...
