Good book in great series

Book 2 in a fascinating Alaskan detective series. Interesting characters in an Alaskan setting that rings true (I've been there recently) ...
Love John Straley!

I love all of the Cecil Younger mysteries and only wish that Straley would write more of them more quickly. The characters are so interesting and real, the setting wonderful and rich - you can tell his real life wife is an ornithologist! He gets his birds right. And he gets the people right too.
Excellent

What an excellent story! Cecil is a great, believable character, the mystery is puzzling, and the descriptions of Alaska are evocative. Straley's writing is magical and sometimes stopped me cold. His prose is just as fine as James Lee Burke's.
Excellent reading! I live in SE Alaska and loved this book!!
