It makes me cold just thinking about it...

This was my first book by this author and I will now look for more. While all of the Inuit language had me looking for the glossary a few times it kept me up at night to finish it. I liked how the author ties the old ways of the Inuits, racism and survival into one tale. With the vivid description I found myself shivering even while sitting next to a wood stove with the description of the howling winds. Kept me guessing until the last chapter.

A haunting, claustraphobic mystery with a touch of mysticism

If you like authors Sue Henry and Dana Stabenow, here is a great new find in the Alaskan mystery genre!! Read it in the summer. Reading it on a cold, dark winters night might be a little too real to handle. I highly recommend this book.
