This was described as a good beach book, but was also good for winter cold reading. It weaves together a modern day story about a reporter and archeologist with an interest in the disappearance of the Franklin Expedition in 1845 in the Arctic. This was an actual event. The story is told from several points of view between the past and present. It's fast paced and satisfying that difficult family relationships are resolved in a hopeful way.
