I like this book, this whole Watkins series, for many reasons, but especially because the characters aren't perfect and 'superhero'-like. It is believable, possible, and relevant, while still being a story that I could think about and enjoy trying to figure out "who-dun-it" at the end of a long day without overloading my poor, tired brain.

This was my first Mary Logue book, and will not be my last. Great story, action packed, likable characters, and some twists.

Well worth my time.

I thought the scene setting was good. I was getting a claustrophobic feeling from the snow storms

The author's writing is getting better as the books progress. I didn't guess the twist in this one, so that was great. I am finally caught up with the first few books (have already listened to books 4 and 5) so I can move onward from here on out.

This was a quick read. The story was well-written, and had a familiar setting (Lake Pepin area of Wisconsin,) which is something I enjoy once in awhile. The main female character is a police investigator, and I would definitely read more in this series.

This one held my attention and made me skip dinner! Fairly straight forward (until the twist at the end :) ) I enjoyed her main character - Claire Watkins - very much. She seemed "human" and not the makings of someone's imagination. I was saddened about Sven though. Snooper was a joy!

This is a subject close to my heart and that must be why I was so disappointed. Thanks for using battered women as battering rams.

First time with this author. Ill read more to find out if the author's writing style matures.
I liked the setting and the characters.

Couldn't wait to get back to it each time I put it down.
