Being of Native Indian decent it is so cool to find good books based on Native Indian characters.
Dana Stabenow has done an excellent job of this.

COLD DAY FOR MURDER

I LOVE ME SOME AMAZON! I HAVE LEARNED THE HARD WAY THAT IF YOU CAN BUY "USED" DO IT! THE ONLY THING I WOULD LIKE U TO CHANGE IS, WHEN I REQUEST LARGE PRINT, SEND LARGE PRINT. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE ITEM IN LARGE PRINT, HAVE THE COURTISY TO ADVISE ME OF SUCH. MOST OF THE BOOKS I ORDER USED, COME IN LARGE PRINT, THE ONES THAT DO NOT, I MIGHT AS WELL TOSS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO ORDER AND NOT BE ABLE TO READ THEM. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND IT IS HARD FOR ME TO GET TO TOWN TO RETURN ITEMS AND SOME TIMES THE COST FOR RETURNS IS MORE THAN THE PRICE OF THE ITEM, SHIPPING IS ALWAYS MORE THAN USED BOOKS ANYWAY YOU LOOK AT IT. OTHER THAN THAT, YOUR SITE IS GREAT AND VERY USEFUL.

Left me shivering and happy not to live in Alaska
Rating  (4)

On the one hand, a great whodunit placed in a fascinating setting (the far Alaska north) by a writer who really knows her stuff. (The writer, Dana Stabenow, lives in Alaska and it shows). On the other hand, the novel had such a gloom and doom atmosphere, it left me very much depressed after I had finished it. Oh well, maybe that is a sign of good writing; intentional or not, it's a darn good read anyway.
Kate Shugak, the heroine of this novel, is a traumatized ex-investigator of the Anchorage D.A.'s office, who gets - against her will, with a lot of arm-twisting - called upon to investigate the disappearance of two men because she knows the area (and its eccentric people) like the back of her hand. She also knows she's not going to like the answers to this mystery - and boy, is she right (but I'll leave that to the reader to find out).
In between, we meet up with a lot of fascinating, larger-than-life characters that seem to have stepped straight out of Northern Exposure. It does have enough humor in it to put a smile upon your face now and then (just visit the Roadhouse to see what I mean). Alaska is cold, rugged and dangerous, deadly to the unwary, so a sense of humor seems one of the required survival-traits to live there.

Top-notch author and another winning story. Alaska is featured and described with accuracy and affection. Just one of the many stories in this land of mystery and challenges.

Kate Shugan, Alaskan Native Bush-dweller ex-DA investigator, with a college degree, and a scar from ear-to-ear, comes out of retirement or is pulled into problems. Her companion half-Husky/half-Wolf, her lover Jack, activist grandmother, family and friends, all part of The Great Land that is a character in itself. Wonderful characterizations, Native lore, life of subsistance living. Read in chronological order as characters are introduced and developed.
