A Solitude of Wolverines by Alice Henderson

4.0

Really more like 4.5 for this one. It’s been sitting on my shelf for ages and I’m so glad I picked it up. Alex Carter is a badass biologist and environmentalist, and I’m looking forward to starting the second story, A Blizzard of Polar Bears, soon.

Written with great atmosphere and a fair amount of suspense, Alex works to study the wolverine population in northern Montana. But something isn’t quite right as she encounters threatening notes and other messages warning her away. Great side characters abound and the climax unfolds at breakneck speed. And a bigger mystery lingers for Alex even as she moves on to her next adventure.

Highly recommend this for the mystery & atmosphere as much as for the environmental and educational aspects of man’s impact on nature. Thanks to William Morrow Books for my gifted copy of A Solitude of Wolverines.
