Chronicle In Favor Of Books Whisper To The Blood (Kate Shugak #16)

A mining company has discovered a rich mineral deposit in Alaska's enormous Iqaluk Wildlife Refuge. Politicos see dollar signs for the state, but Ninilta residents, who live near the proposed site, are split: Will outsiders take the jobs? Will the environment be harmed by pollution? Will roads disintegrate . . . tourists invade? As the new chairperson of Ninilta's Native Association, a job she never wanted, Kate is embarassingly ill-equipped to handle the questions. Nor is she prepared when two individuals associated with the company turn up dead.

Kate Shugak is a native Aleut working as a private investigator in Alaska. She's 5 foot 1 inch tall, carries a scar that runs from ear to ear across her throat and owns half-wolf, half-husky dog named Mutt. Resourceful, strong-willed, defiant, Kate is tougher than your average heroine - and she needs to be to survive the worst the Alaskan wilds can throw at her.

Piece Of Books Whisper To The Blood (Kate Shugak #16)

This is a pretty exciting novel in the Kate Shugak series. It's winter, a company is digging a gold mine (lots of Park rats not so happy about it), there are a couple of ugly murders... and Jim and Kate are getting pretty comfy in their relationship. Great fun tale about life in backwoods Alaska. I recommend starting at the beginning of the series.

The second largest gold mine is going to be just down the road--jobs on the one hand and rape of the land on the other--Kate is voted in as the chair of the NNA whether she wants it or not and keeping everyone happy will never be a possibility. Thank goodness for Johnny and Jim in her life, keeping it sane because between the aunties hiring out thugs and all the park rats taking vengence on lawbrakers, Jim and Kate are out of the ususal loop. I love when Kate asks Jim about Talia and he says

Read it in one day ( and maybe a few night hours) - fast action and great characters make a good read. Jim is growing on me and Johnny can have his own series down the road....

Not one of her best, and definately one that has to be read as part of the series as a whole. A lot of the murder mystery side of things tags on to what was happening in the previous book, and honestly, most of this book is about the on going story of the characters of the Park in Alaska. In the blurb it mentions the murder of a father and son. To give you an idea, that murder is referred to in the story so briefly, if you blink you'll miss it. If this is your first Stabenow book, put it to one

Really mad about the rape scene and the way the author plays it off as sexy. It actually made me sick to my stomach.Overall, I probably should have stopped this book after the above mentioned scene. However, I kept hoping they would deal with it somehow. And I wanted to hear about the rest of the characters. There are some good scenes, Kate is a strong character (for examples she goes after three guys by waiting next to an outhouse in the dark to catch them off guard). I have read that the rest

Alaskan private detective Kate Shugak gets coerced onto the board governing her native community as a mining company announces a huge operation to mine gold. Murder follows.This is only the second book I've read in this series, and I think it would be better read in order. Certainly one should read book 15 before this one, because a lot of the story here follows on from murders in that book. I was lost with that. The main plot, relating to the mining company, is a relatively small part of the

I'm a big Stabenow and Kate Shugak fan and this was no disappointment. read over a weekend and loved it. Gold mining company wants to commence mining on native land. The community is split between environmental concerns vs employment vs money to be made. A few deaths and Kate and Mutt save the day. Loved it!
