A Cold Day for Murder Audiobook

" Surprisingly good. The whodunit is predictable, but the character development is what it's all about. "

" First of the Kate Shugak series (which is now up to 15 and counting). It's a good series, based in Alaska, and evoking the wildness of the wilderness. Decent crime mysteries. The heroine is a native Alaskan who returned to 'the Park' after working for the DAs office in Ancorage and is now its unofficial private detective. "

" This mystery series, set in Alaska, has one of the best lead characters ever. Kate Shugak is intelligent, tough and sensitive.She investigates crimes for her community,a place and people she deeply loves.Read this book and you will be hooked. "

" Kate Shugak is an Aleut Indian living in Alaska. She has returned to her hometown after being attacked and killing a child abuser. Her grandmother wants her to become more involved in Indian affairs but Kate is resisting. A former detective for the DA, she now freelances. She is asked to help out when a man goes missing in the park and the officer sent in to find him goes missing as well. She must come to grips with the fact that she knows the killer personally. Good start to the series. "

" murder mystery, takes place in Alaska...Not bad "

" The first book I read in the series. Got me hooked. "

" Loved the Alaskan location and the colorful, independent characters! I will read more of this series. "

" Quick read! Does the job "

" Alaska has always been of interest. Found descriptions realistic as were characters. Liked lead character as had personality which fit with story. Mystery was good enough to keep me reading into late evening because I was intrigued by plot. Another excellent writing by Stabenow. "

" A fun mystery. I have not read Dana Stabenow before, and it was a good read. I would read another by her. "

" Wasn't my type of book. "

" This is another series, this one is Alaska. A bit more graphic than some of the others but I love the characters. "

" I'll be reading more of these. "

" I couldn't bring myself to go finish... a sad way to introduce Alaska to the mass reading public. Fake names for real places, generalizations galore, flat descriptions of breathtaking scenery... to say nothing about the poor understandings of Alaska's diverse Native peoples. "

" It felt like a good book with a couple of interesting characters and unexpected turns but something about the overall background bugged me. "

" An interesting start to a great series. Kate is asked by the FBI to help investigate a missing park ranger. It leads to her almost being killed several times. Not as good as "Breakup," but I liked it. "

" Good story and great description of Alaska and the people who live there "

" It's a murder mystery. Nothing overly special about it, but set in Alaska which gives it a unique aspect. "

" Cozy quickie. "

" Very good new series for me. "

" Good, solid detective fiction. Alaska setting adds to the interest. "

" Nice, short, solid mystery with interesting characters and a unique setting. I'll try a couple more in this series. "

" Even though I love thrillers AND Alaska, this was not a fun book to read for me. Somehow, the wilderness and native culture of The Last Frontier just don't match with a crime book. And I didn't really like the main character. Probably my first and last Dana Stabenow... "

" I really enjoyed this first book in the Kate Shugak Mystery series. I love the setting and I love how the stories don't unfold prematurely. I'll definately be read ing more in this series. "

" I love Kate Shugak. I love books set in Alaska. I love mysteries. I'll definitely be reading more of this series. "

" Had trouble getting into this. The premise had promise but the execution was disappointing. "

" If you like reading murder mysteries, this one fits the bill. Set in Alaska, it brings to life the mind set of native Alaskans who are still struggling to live in today's world. Good suspense and easy reading. "

" I really like the mixture of mystery, suspense and tribal life that Stabenow winds into her books. Happy to look for more. A good read. "

" I can't wait to read more of this series. The mystery kept me guessing and u enjoyed learning about Alaska at the same time. "

" Another one of my freebies off Amazon for my Kindle. A nice gentle read. Set in ALaska its very different from anything else I've ever read.A bit shorter than I realised but nevertheless a really good read and I wouldn't hesitate to read another one of hers soon "

" If you like the Anna Pigeon series, you will like Kate Shugak. Characters are unique and entertaining. "

" a very weird book. it's worth the time, as a very quick read, but it's not a great book, I wouldn't say. the best part (for me) was it's free as a kindle book. "

" An enjoyable easy read. After watching many tv documentaries on Alaska, it was nice to read a book with a story set in Alaska. "

" Kate, a former investigator hiding out in the Park, is tasked to find out who killed a Park ranger and her investigator-boyfriend. I thought the relationships and emotions in this book were really well done. "

" Fun. Takes place in Alaska, although not the part where I traveled. The investigator is Aleut. Will read others in the series. "

" Good story and great description of Alaska and the people who live there "

" This was a freebie on the author's website, and while I did enjoy it, sort of, it felt a bit underdeveloped to me. Fun to read something set in Alaska, but not very satisfying either as a mystery or as social commentary. Doubt I'd read more about this heroine. "
