Probably closer to 3.5 stars. I love Steve Hamilton’s books. This is another good one in the series.

One of the better ones in the series. Alex is still troubled and too quiet and still gets poor Leon involved in his cases. This one didn't really get solved so much as Alex tracked down the right person to explain it to him, but that's okay with me. I just love the UP setting, even though I've never been there - not yet, anyway.

Do not read this book before bed, especially in Michigan, especially on New Year’s Eve, especially alone. I made all of these mistakes. I did not sleep. I finished the book.

Un excellent roman policier, tout en simplicité. L'intrigue, sans flaflas, nous entraîne dans l'hiver ontarien, dans les communautés amérindiennes ojibwa et cree. C'est un périple en forêt, à la recherche d'une bande de chasseurs disparus, parmi les ours et les orignaux. C'est une histoire aux mystères enfouis dans le sol froid du Canada, une histoire dans laquelle le passé brûle encore de ses feux ardents pour en venir à illuminer la vérité.

Week 14 of the 2018 Reading Challenge: 4 books linked by the 4 elements: Book #2 Fire.
I've read a few of Steve Hamilton's books and they are a good, solid mystery. This one did not disappoint and kept me guessing.

Gripping story line, very relatable characters. The fact that it's set in my favorite place on earth - northern Ontario - is a big bonus.

The series is great, it’s a private eye noir set in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula where summers are short and winters are brutal and cold. I really enjoy the series, but our poor protagonist never seems to catch a break or have a good time. Despite that, this book, and the series is certainly worth reading.
This particular book took our private eye and his friend up to Ontario in search of the friend’s brother. It’s a page turner!
