This was the fifth in a series by an ex-trooper who loves the Adirondack park. I love it too, but his style is so dry and sterile that I had to force my way through all five. I'd gotten them from the library and for some silly reason thought I needed to read them all.

If you like to read reports and instruction manuals you may enjoy this series. There are a few exciting moments, but mostly it is filled with repetitive day to day activities like getting out of bed and cleaning the house.

The one thing that I did really appreciate is there is virtually no profanity, no explicit sex and very little gore.

I am a little disappointed in this book. Although filled with interesting stories, I didn't find any practical how-to-fix-it help that I'm looking for.
