This audio book was just the ticket for my 45-minute drive to and from work each day. Kate Shugak is a great character; and I've read all the other series up to this point. There have been a few that didn't live up to my expectations but this one was great. Most of the story takes place in the Park in the state of Alaska where Kate is serving as the head of the Niniltna Native Association. Along with trying to work with the life-changing discovery of gold on state-owned lands in the Park, she must also investigate a couple of suspicious suicides. As always, there is humor in the way Kate deals with her fellow human beings, especially those she doesn't care for. She is a strong, capable woman who those who know her treat with a touch of fear and a great deal of respect. Thankfully, there were only a couple of sex scenes which I was able to fast forward through without any problem. However, the profanity was profound, to say the least, and lessened my enjoyment of this book.
Rating: 3.75
