I have been waiting for this book since I finished the first title in the series. It did not disappoint.
You can absolutely tell that Ms Keeton lives in small town Maine - the town of Secretly is just perfect. The characters are wonderful and complex. The small details woven in are perfect.
This title picked up a few months past where Blaze Orange left off. However it is not necessary to read Book 1 first - this is a full story with no cliff hangers - and all characters get an appropriate introduction. Just like the first book the mystery starts right off and has twists and turns - with a few scenes that I expect are prepping us for book 3!
A great mystery even for someone like me who generally isn’t a mystery fan.
Solid 5 stars - bought the hard cover and digital
Now impatiently waiting for Book 3!

Arctic Green, reviewed by Jonathan Allen, Advance Reader
A can of paint, a blizzard, alpacas, a gold bracelet, a down and out lobster man, a painting and a body, where do they lead? As winding as a snowmobile track through the Maine woods and like a high speed snowmobile ride, Arctic Green takes you on a tale of suspense in Mid-Coast Maine. With the blizzard of the century bearing down on Secretly, the local snowmobile club anticipates their first rides in many years and are working to get the trails in order, hoping a newly arrived landowner will allow them access. Karl, the hardware store owner even has his “sled” parked in front of his store, as he holds the record for being first on the trail consecutively for many years. The blizzard hits, and what's left is a broken down “sled” and body on the reluctant landowner's land, a hit and run accident, wild high tides on the coast, a store break-in and theft, and the problems of townsfolk. Raven is taken away from painting one of her cottages for a walk at a local preserve and observes police activity and away we go. The author weaves a great tale about the life in a small mid-coast Maine town and it is a great sequel to Blaze Orange.

She’s done it again. All the characters in Blaze Orange are at it in another saga.
Raven finds herself in the thick of things with a thief and would be kidnapper! Betty, in true Betty form, stumbles into the mess! Marcel and Tom arrive just in time to make the arrest.
Loved the suspense and continuing story of local life in mid-coast Maine.
My happy place!
I can’t wait for the next book!

An exciting sequel in the Midcoast Maine Mystery series, and I cannot wait to see what happens next. I love how Allison Keeton combines the coziness of Maine with small town drama, and of course, murder! I appreciate the growth of the characters’ relationships as well as how realistic and likable each character is (my favorite will always be Betty and poor Howard). Keeton gave readers an exciting and heartwarming mystery, while still leaving enough doors open to keep us wanting more in her next book.

4.5/5 stars here. Arctic Green kept me wanting more from the first page. I did not want to put it down because this book had a constant flow to it. Arctic Green does not fall into the common issue of drawing out unnecessary details, and it gets right to the necessities.
Will most definitely be keeping an eye on Allison Keeton to see what other books she comes up with in the future. I would say Arctic Green is ranked amongst my favorites in this genre. Excellent work.

Arctic Green is a fantastic sequel in the Midcoast Maine Murder Mystery series. Keeton masterfully captures the charm of a quaint coastal town, weaving together cozy atmosphere and small town drama into a gripping, brutal murder case. Beyond the murder, she thoughtfully explores real world issues with depth and care. Her characters are endearing and relatable, each with their own compelling journeys. This debut series is on the rise and it's bound to be big.
