Enjoyed this book a lot, mostly because I like stories that teach indigenous ways and mores. As you can probably tell by the title, this mystery takes place in the wilds of Alaska—one of my favorite venues for storytelling. Stan does not get women right, but that’s okay, most male writers do not. What does he do wrong? Just makes his women superwomen with very, very strong appetites and, in this case, gets away with it because few of us now any Inuit women, so let’s give him the benefit of the doubt.
Stan Jones is a native of Alaska and lives in Anchorage. As an award-winning journalist he has worked as a bush pilot and is currently the Director of External Affairs for the Prince William Sound Regional Citizens’ Advisory Council. This book is the fourth in the Nathan Active series and he co-authored the non-fiction work: “The Spill: Personal Stories from the Exxon Valdez Disaster.”
