Alaska is like a whole other world to most of us and Beth Rivers it’s her sanctuary. She was attacked and came to Benedict, Alaska to hide from the man who kidnapped her.
Drawn into a murder investigation she uses her deductive skills help solve the crime.
This is a great mystery who done it that keeps you guessing until the very end. Lots of atmosphere and unique characters.
Thank you Netgalley and St Martins Press for this advanced copy for my honest review.
This is the second book in the series by Paige Shelton. I now need to go back and read Thin Ice.
This story definitely kept me on the edge of my seat and not wanting to put the book down. I was kept guessing until the end.
Loved the feel of the town, would love to go to Alaska, the characters are interesting. A great read to escape from everything going on now.
I really like Beth and can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.
Thank you NetGalley and Minotaur Books for the opportunity to read this book.
