Kate, former investigator for the Anchorage D.A. and now a P.I. for hire, is missing. She is spending the winter working under an assumed name in an effort to get over a grief she can't discuss. Her best friend, State Trooper Jim Chopin, needing her to help him work a new case, discovers her hiding out in Bering, a small fishing village on Alaska's western coast. Before they can even discuss Kate's last several months, or what Jim is doing looking for her in Bering, they are up to their eyebrows in Jim's case, which is suddenly more complicated - and more dangerous - than they suspected. This, the ninth novel featuring Kate Shugak, is Stabenow's most compelling to date.

"Where is Kate? She has been grieving Jack but no one has seen her for months. Sargeant Jim Chopin needs her help on a federal case and looks everywhere. George finally admits to flying her to Anchorage and that she was hurt but doesn't know where she went from there. Jim takes on the undercover case and goes to Bering and who of all people does he find in Bering, miles away from her homestead and using another name but Kate Shugak. This book was a tear jerker but not as bad as the previous one. Jim is able to help Kate to come to terms with her loss by confronting her with the way she has shut everyone who cares about her out of her life. She is able to help him with the case. Both of them almost get killed separately and together, but in the end they both make it home, whole. I loved the good by scene with Jim, that was a nice way to have resolution between them." — Mindy (5 out of 5 stars)

" Probably my favorite Kate Shugak story so far. It's about love, friendship and grief and recovery. And new lives entering Kate's even as others depart. "
" Still reeling from the loss of her longtime boyfriend, Kate is working crazy hours at a charter air business in Bering. Trooper Jim Chopin is sent there to determine if nuclear material is bring smuggled into the U.S. and he and Kate hook up to solve the case, with both having close brushes with death along the way. Kate also discovers her grandmother kept personal secrets in Bering. "
" One of the more harrowing of the Shugak mysteries. "
" How could a book this bad have a rating of 4.13? A rating this far off makes me suspect the validity of the rating system. The only thing it has going for it is that it is set in Alaska, and even that doesn't salvage this one... "
" Kate is my Juliet... "
" Well, I finished my first Alaska Stabenow's Kate Shugak novel. This is the 10th novel but I did not feel that I was missing a lot even though there was a lot of pre-novel action that was ultimately revealed. This was much more sophisticated than I had expected. the Russian mob, pluonium, etc. The story moved along quickly. I really enjoyed the descriptions of the Alaskan village life and the local people and life. Hope we get to see similar things in July! I did not know however that the author ends with a cliff hanger for her next novel!! The last paragraph is a big question mark!! "
" Transition novel -- I hope. Redefining / refreshing the main character. "
" I'm catching up on this series after not reading for a few years. Thoroughly enjoyable and well written. I think I'm hooked again. "
" It was good. I was torqued when one of the major characters were killed off in the last book. This was a good transition to a new twist in this mystery series. "
" As always a good read. Now off to the next in the series. "
" Alaska based mystery series with a strong AK Native woman as lead character "
" My first outing with the Kate Shugak Mysteries and I have to say I was hooked and promptly ordered some of the others to read. The books are set in Alaska and the country, the people and storylines make the books unputdownable :) "
" This is one of my favorites in the Kate Shugak series. "
" Another great novel in this series. I really enjoy how the author paints her characters as real people - flaws, weaknesses and all. Well written, lots of action and twists. "
" I love this series and I make a point of always looking for more at the used book store. I've read maybe 5 of them and this was my favorite. "
" Kate Shugak is an amazing character. "
" Excellent; Continuing character: Kate Shugak; Kate is missing after death of her lover (in previous book); trooper Chopper Jim is going undercover in attempt to capture Russian Mafia members in Bering and finds her; together they solve mystery. "
" Again, an outstanding story by Dana Stabenow in the Kate Shugak series. "
" Ongoing character. The personal dilemmas of the protagonist and 2ndary character overwhelmed the mystery. Too many POVs, not ANY whodunit. "
" Mutt Lives! Teaser ending, very pyschological episode "
" I think this was my favorite one in the series so far. The only problem I have with these books is that once I start reading it, and can't stop until I am done with it! "
" Wowzers [Inspector Gadget]!! Midnight Come Again was a powerful book! The events in the previous book in the Kate Shugak series, Hunter's Moon served as the set-up for Kate's state-of-mind throughout most of Midnight Come Again. "
" The novel after Hunter's Moon, this one doesn't focus on Kate but on Jim Chopper, a friend. The character's weren't really strong but the plot was very good, not much action, the suspense is a little laid back. "
" This may be my favorite of the Kate Shugak books. I love the way we start off (after the Russian stuff) with Jim, and the double points of view that carry through the rest of the story. Tight, tight, beautiful writing. "
