Customer Reviews

Alaska Ice

Perhaps winter in Northern Michigan brings out my desire to prove to myself that there ARE people in the world who are colder than I am, and that's why I have been reading mystery novels with Alaska settings. Whatever the reason, "A Deadly Quiet" is one of the best I've read in recent months. Christopher Lane's prose is masterful, and evocative of the shivering stillness and sheets of snow. The characters are sharp against the landscape, and the setting is unusual and intriguing. I recommend this book: it's well written and suspenseful. Perfect for a quiet evening by a fire!
