Negative Positive
Title: High hopes dashed with this one.
Review: This is the first of Dana Stabenow's books I've read and I really tried to like it but, in my opinion, it was terrible. I wonder how on earth it got published in the first place. The setting of Alaska and characters in law enforcement seemed intriguing. But, joy in this work was not to be. While this is billed as a mystery, the mystery is completely obscured by the fact that the characters slept with each other any time, any place, any situation, including some very implausible ones. Add to that amateurish writing, misplaced dialogue tags, Liam's preoccupation with his zipper and a dozen characters all introduced at the same time made this a slog instead of a read. Too bad, the potential for a good story is there.
