The Boy in the Snow Audiobook

" Fascinating heroine and unusual setting - Alaska during the Iditarod. Reminds me a little of Dana Stabenow's books. I was captivated the whole way and glued to my seat at the harrowing climax! "

" Isn't it nice when you pick a book up at random because everything you have at home is not doing it for you & you just need to break the cycle of starting things & getting nowhere with them? And the book you pick up happens to be delightful? It makes me wonder why certain people come to the library & complain that there's nothing good to read, but that's neither here nor there. Edie Kiglatuk is a character I can absolutely get behind. This is a tad convoluted & very sad, and what on earth is with all the glaring editing errors? but it's still well worth the afternoon of effort it required. The only character I couldn't stand reading was the mayor, not because he's pure evil but because after the past few months of living in a swing state, I couldn't be more tired of thinking of or reading about anyone's political ambitions or machinations. "

" 2nd in the series and just as interesting. Solid mystery, pacing and great characters, not the least of which is the land. "

" An utterly engrossing mystery that both exposes the hidden underbely of Alaskan criminal and political activties while providing a unique insight into the life and customs of both Inuit and North American customs. "

" good but not as good as the first one by McGrath. Still, an interesting setting in Alaska. The narrator did a good job with pronunciations in this audio book. "

" Setting not used effectively and character development seemed stilted, so comparisons to "Smilla's Sense of Snow" and the Kurt Wallander series are not quite appropriate. "

" I liked it. It keeps you turning pages. Not as good as the first book. This one feels more formulaic and not as fresh at White Heat. "

" Easy read, didn't realize it was the second of the series. A very specific style of writing, would not be surprised if the first book had a very similar story line. Enjoyed it. "

" New protagonist, don't know if this is a one on or about to be a series. She's abrasive, stubborn, and fits in Alaska...though she's really from the Artic...good read. "

" This is a Northern Ice murder mystery, but set in Alaska, with an Eskimo as the main character. Gritty, surreal and a brilliant portayal of her understanding of snow, ice, tracking and general otherness. A far cry from Perth in summer. One of the best mysteries I have read for a long time. "

" I can't explain how annoyed I was with this book. Having lived in Nome and currently living in Anchorage I had a running list of inaccuracies. The author should have done far more research and I really hope, but doubt, that the majority who read this realize how much crap she made up. "

" Not quite as good as her first novel, White Heat, but still very good and much better than most. "

" Very good. She is a great writer. "

" Another good book in the series - this time set in Alaska. I really enjoy these mysteries! "

" Not as good as "White Heat" which was superb. but still good. Edie goes to Anchorage. "
