" Borrowed this from Lendle.com. Third one in the series. I've read some later ones but thought I might read them from the beginning. The Kate Shugak mystery books are interesting regarding life in Alaska. Kate Shugak, an Alaskan Aleut Indian is a former investigator for the Anchorage DA. She now lives on a homestead in a national Park in Alaska. She ends up reluctantly working on and getting involved in murder mysteries that happen around her area. She has a half-wolf, half-husky dog named Mutt. It's not really a witty or feel good series. Kind of on the more serious side. You will learn about dog mushers, miners, hunters, trappers, fishermen, bush pilots, pipeline workers, Park rats and Park rangers, and the customs and traditions of the Aleut Indians. "
