" This book is well-written for a political thriller, but I didn't like it nearly as much as the Kate Shugak books. It didn't have the Alaskan setting and the strong lead female character I love in those books. It was ok, for a thriller. "

" Found it a bit too contrived, Dana Stabenow just seemed to try too hard with this one. I love the Kate Shugak mysteries, I have been reading them since the first book came out years and years ago. I'll stick with Kate, this one didn't really do much for me. "

" I enjoyed what I read ok, but it failed to draw me in -- I think this was because all of the jumping around in time from character to character slowed down the narrative, and it just didn't feel suspenseful enough to me. "
