A Fatal Thaw Audiobook

" Once again, I absolutely loved this book but probably because I love Alaska. I find all the little every day things interesting and I like the interpersonal relationships between such close neighbors in the wilderness of the great state of Alaska. Interestingly enough this is the exact same stuff I hate in other books. The mystery in interesting and the way Kate breaks it down is fascinating. "

" To be in Alaska when the Spring comes..... This 2nd book is about hatred, jealousy and retribution. The imagery is beautiful, especially Kate & the Northern Lights, and the developing characters becoming a family you could sit down with. Yes, you may work out early on who did it but the tale is worth reading nonetheless. "

" A Fatal Thaw is the 2nd book in the Kate Shugak series. On the first day of spring, in the middle of an Alaskan national park, a man goes on a killing spree, leaving 9 dead Park residents. But he's only responsible for 8 of the murders and it's up to Kate to figure out who killed the 9tn victim. Once again, Dana Stabenow masterfully evokes the Alaskan wilderness as well as the nature of the people who inhabit it. "

" Easy to read. Interesting and authentic information on AK. "

" liked her books in the beginning- set in alaska, learned different aspects about alaska, but she's a misanthrope and that gets old pretty fast. "

" This is the third book of the Kate Shugak series that I have read. I enjoyed it very much as I was on a 10 day land tour of Alaska at the time. I plan to read the whole series once I get back home in lower 48 "

" I am liking Kate, Mutt, and their life, a life I would not even want to experience except through this medium. Here a mad massacre covers a singular murder followed by another killing and eventually an avalanche and a dance with the aroura borealis. "

" Acceptable mystery, but only the fact of the tough PI being an Aleut and she works in Alaska makes this series stand out from the usual mystery series. Kate Shugak is also very likable. "

" You have to get to know Kate! "

" I am really loving this series, especially the lavish descriptions of the Alaskan wilderness. Makes me want to visit even more. I sure hope there are glaciers left in two years! The ending of this one was breathtaking. Kate Shugak is one amazing woman - can't wait to read more! "

" A little slow but still o.k. "

" Another book in a good mystery series. I've become hooked on the Kate Shugak books! Since I'm already cold in winter, I might as well read about Alaska -- after all, it's even colder there! "

" I liked how this started out from the killer's perspective and the continued growing of the main characters, but could see the ending a mile away and while it was an enjoyable quick read, not really anything extra special. "

" Didn't learn anything. Just enjoy a really good "who-done-it." "

" Not as enjoyable as the first Shugak mystery. Started off really good and horrifying but then settled down to a rather mundane mystery story. Got tired of reading about Bobby's real (or faked) horniness. Also got tired of him and Jack yelling at Kate all the time. "

" Enjoyed this one! Dana Stabenow is a great writer! "

" Kate Shugak is tapped to investigate a murder, when it is determined that one of the victims of a killing spree was killed by someone else. The victim was a promiscuous woman, who grew/sold marijuana, so there are many suspects. Good Alaskan cultural insight. "

" Kate Shugak solves another one! I find the personal relationships between the Park residents to be quite interesting and "overlapping." The potlatch scene I liked in particular. End was spectacular! On to number 3... "
