I have been seeing this book on a lot of blogs and think it looks good. But, I like to get to know characters a bit more so will have to think about it.

This reminds me of "Sur", one of my favorite short stories by Ursula K. LeGuin.

With that premise and the arctic setting, I've been looking forward to reading this one, so I was hoping you'd say it was a 5-star read. Oh, well. At least you liked it. But it's always a little sad when what you hope for in a book doesn't quite materialize.

I do like the murder mystery element of this, but it's a bummer the characters didn't come more alive. I feel like the arctic setting would appeal t me more than the courtroom stuff, too. Still, it does does decent. I might give this one a try.

It is weird that more of it didn't take place in the artic as that seems to be front and center in the blurb and cover. That aside it does sound really good and definitely different from my usual read.

This sounds like it would be an amazing atmospheric read, but that is if it was actually set in the Arctic. I am glad you still enjoyed it, even though that was an issue. It still sounds good to me, and I will put it on the wishlist for future consideration. Nice review Susan.

I, too, love murder/mysteries set in remote places. I feel like it packs a harder punch and adds a more sinister vibe to the story.

I have to check this one out!

Survival story and a murder mystery. I'm in!
