(1992) Kate must try to figure out who the murderer of Lisa Getty was in the middle of a serial killer's spree. Turns out that her sister Lottie is the one and is tracked down to a trek up a mountain. In an unusual end, the killer is brought to justice by nature rather than our hero. Fitting end for the area the novel is set in.Publishers WeeklyStabenow's ( A Cold Day for Murder ) writing has matured in her second effort featuring native Alaskan sleuth Kate Shugak. The Alaskan terrain and native culture add texture--the narrative includes both a potlatch celebration and an avalanche. Spring brings not only a thaw to the Alaskan wilderness, but a mass murderer. Roger McAniff cracks along with the ice on the first day of spring and goes on a killing spree, murdering nine and wounding two others. Or so it seems until ballistics tests prove that one of the victims, Lisa Getty, was killed by a different rifle. Shugak's investigation reconstructs Getty's life, uncovering her promiscuity, drug-dealing and endangered species-poaching, but all those leads prove false. The investigation reintroduces readers to some of the most intriguing characters from Shugak's previous mystery, including wheelchair-bound black veteran Bobby Clark and Shugak's manipulative grandmother, Ekaterina. Meanwhile, the tension level rises when a park ranger is killed and Shugak herself is wounded by a sniper's rifle, and Stabenow succuessfully sustains the tension until the killer is found.

Kate Shugak is tapped to investigate a murder, when it is determined that one of the victims of a killing spree was killed by someone else. The victim was a promiscuous woman, who grew/sold marijuana, so there are many suspects. Good Alaskan cultural insight. ( )

⭐⭐⭐ 3 stars - I liked it.

While I had a great time following Kate on another one of her investigative bouts, I found myself wanting for a bit more mystery in this second installment. ( )

I have read a couple of Kate Shugak mysteries before, and I thought they were decent. I remember her as a tough woman dealing with difficult men, among other things. I did not have her pegged as a typical heroine - 30-something, beautiful, tough, afraid of commitment. But that's what she is, based on this novel.

Because of my own ethics and standards, I found a couple of things irritating at best:

* Kate's female dog is not spayed. Kate does not want her having more puppies but she has not gotten her fixed. Is this that woodsperson thinking? That she is better at protecting Kate if she is "whole"? Does Kate think there is room for as many wolf-dog mix puppies as Mutt can create?

* Kate uses a choke collar sometimes. This is never acceptable. Train her, don't choke her. Sheesh.

* At one point Kate spoke disparagingly about another person by saying, "He's a vegetarian, for God's sake", or similar words. After all, who could like a vegetarian? A lot of animals could, for one.

Apart from these specific complaints I was not thrilled by all the references to Kate's sexual desirability. I think the writers of these female-lead mysteries have a hard time conceiving of a woman who is not beautiful as interesting enough. I can easily imagine it as far more interesting.

The story (at last): a man goes on a rampage with his new rifle, killing several people. After the dead land on the medical examiner's table, one of them turns out to have been killed by another gun. This one person, Lisa, turns out to have many enemies, mainly other women, and a shady past. Her life with her unattractive older sister raises other questions as well.

When Kate announced who the killer was I was not surprised. She says nobody should have been, and I suspect that's true of other readers as well. In the process of eliminating other options, Kate is shot at and another person is killed. It wouldn't be a thriller without the thrills. ( )

It was six A.M. on the first day of spring, and although sunrise was still half an hour away, when Kate opened her eyes the loft of the cabin was filled with the cool, silvery promise of dawn.
