Dead in the Water Audiobook

" This is the first 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 "

" 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. "

" Too hard to follow - it assumed you knew the characters from previous books and felt like it started in the middle of the story. The plot was OK, but not gripping. "

" I am enjoying all the Dana Stabenow books since I have moved to AK. I love the way she weaves a story while talking about the history and culture of the area. "

" One of the best in the series. The sense of place is wonderful. "

" this one will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. loved it. onward to book four! "

" On a crab boat this time, the story definitely keeps moving. "

" If you like the TV show, Deadliest Catch, you will love this novel. "

" I love this series. I was hooked after the first book, and I can't wait to start reading the next one. "

" Very amusing. Couldn't put it down. Nothing unusual in the plot, but the Aleut lore and the details about the crabbing ship were excellent. First "Kate Shugak" I've read. "

" Not my favorite in this series, but a pretty good read. "

" This is the third in the Kate Shugak series. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first two. Kate goes undercover on a crabbing boat in the Bering Sea and I missed the recurring characters from the Park. Maybe I just need a break, but it was a little too Deadliest Catch for me. "

" almost as good as an Alaskan cruise "

" Great storyline in this one with the crab fishing boat! "

" I love these books and the characters "

" Another in this Kate Shugak series. I enjoyed this book as a read between more serious reads. I feel attached to Kate Shugak after reading a number of books in this series. Stabenow tells a good story and also gives me a sense of Alaska. "

" The description of the rolling ship almost made me seasick. Great story. "

" Love some of the one-liners in this one. Again, I really like the descriptions. "

" Learned a lot about the Aleutians. I think I like her character better than Sue Grafton's "Kinsey Milhone." Kate is touch yet has better outlook towards men and she gets to have sex! "

" Kate goes undercover (on a fishing boat) in an attempt to discover the location of two missing crew members. Ms Stabenow does such an excellent job describing life/conditions on a boat that I was concerned with getting seasick - an outstanding read! "

" Very exciting. I was seasick during parts of this book. "

" My friend Ruth put me on to Dana Stabenow mysteries. Thanks Ruth. Think I'm going to enjoy this fun easy mystery that starts on a crab fishing boat in Alaska. "
