I just love this series! Kate Shugak is a tell-it-like-it-is heroine. No beating around the bush for this gal. I find this very refreshing and enjoyable. It surprises me that all the men are after her since she isn't described as a raving beauty. She's only 5 feet tall and the guy she's hooked on (Jack Morgan) is a big bear of a man at almost 7 feet. I just can't picture them together.

I've always been fascinated by Alaska and a story with a native Alaskan heroine is a bonus. The mysteries always have me stumped since this is a close-knit community and the clues just aren't there until Kate figures it out and starts to share. Even so, it's interesting to hear how day-to-day is lived in the bush.
