Welcome to Litsy!

This installment had me laughing out loud for a good chunk of the story.
Kate finds herself working as a roustabout for an oil company in AK. As much as she‘s conflicted about the environmental issues, she can‘t walk away from the money offered to shut down a drug ring that‘s causing havoc and even death. After she arrives she also discovers artifacts are being stolen and sold for an exorbitant profit. She finds herself unexpectedly enjoying 🔻

This is 3rd in the Kate Shugak Investigations series, and I think what I love most about this series so far (other than the spunky, tough-as-nails Kate) is the originality of the storylines/plots. This one finds Kate undercover working on an Alaskan fishing trawler in the Bering Sea attempting to discover what happened to two former crew members and investigating allegations of corruption and fraudulence of the team. Love the writing, love the 🔻

Now for some crime...

I read this as a result of enjoying the first in series from my LMPBC group, and I enjoyed it even more than the first one. It‘s very dark and shocking with a crime within a crime and 2 different perpetrators…always a neat concept.
Continue to like and be intrigued by Kate‘s character as I learn more about her heritage and the isolated Alaskan community around her. Definitely will continue with the series. 4.5/5⭐️

I really enjoyed this book which is high on character development, a tight storyline, a suspense-filled plot, 🔻

I have enjoyed this series. Kate Shugak is a good character. The plot in this novel brought Covid and the January 6th insurrection into play. I did miss the interactions with the aunties, as it was minimal. I do love reading about Alaska and will probably always will.

As the spring thaw comes bears wake up hungry but is a bear responsible for this death?

The first 2/3 of this book was absolutely hilarious to the point where I didn't really care about the mystery element.
