Both Ends of the Night by Marcia Muller
3.0
A solid entry in the McCone canon, filled with the author's obvious enthusiasm for and experience with flying light planes. It's also notable for how well Muller pulls off Minnesota wilderness deep freeze; she's known for her obsessive attention to detail in making San Francisco come to life, and it translates admirably.
The background noise of McCone's family is an unfortunate distraction, but that's pretty true of everyone's lives; I just don't care for the plotline overmuch, and hoo boy, some accurate-ass California 90s parenting on display, with the shrugging I'm-sure-they'll-be-fine-and-anyway-what-about-meeeee aspect that is its distinctive hallmark. Good twisty plot, though.
