Nevada Barr recommends

A Solitude of Wolverines (2020)
(Alex Carter , book 1)
Alice Henderson
"What a treat! Alice Henderson has delivered a treasure of a novel--and, to readers' delight, a promise of more where this came from. Her depiction of the natural world in all its beauty and terror is spot-on. Into this she weaves a cast of characters both original and fascinating, as well as a heroine who does the unbelievable, yet one can believe it. A great read!"

Heartbroke Bay (2010)
Lynn D'Urso
"D'Urso has not only spun a great tale but captured both Alaska's power and mystery, no mean feat."

Blue Twilight (2004)
(Rachel Porter, book 8)
Jessica Speart
"Jessica Speart is a revitalizing gust... in a stuffy room."
