4.0

Kate Clark Flora, a former assistant attorney general for the State of Maine and crime writer has produced an excellent moment-by-moment account of how members of the small but very capable police force of Miramichi with the assistance of the Maine warden service and Maine Search and Rescue Dogs were able to find Maria Tanasichuk's body once the snow melted enough for the cadaver dogs to get a scent of the decomposing body. It is highly readable, suspenseful and educational (primarily for police procedure, cadaver dogs and the legal system) all at the same time. Ms Flora had the full co-operation of the Miramichi Police Force in the writing of Death Dealer (New Horizon Press, 2014), which makes it feel even more authentic and adds to the realism. Highly recommended for true crime readers and those who enjoy the Law and Order/CSI type of story.
