A Solitude of Wolverines by Alice Henderson
4.0
Female power! I loved being completely immersed in this life of a woman wildlife biologist who begins a study of wolverines in the mountains of Montana. As a female who loves to hike, has a compassion for our planet’s ecology and animals, and relishes the space, scenery, and serenity of the vast outdoors, this main character was such a rare gem to follow.
And then the real icing on the cake is that the whole story is a mystery/thriller…so much goodness wrapped into my favorite genre. Admittedly, I thought it would prove pretty tame yet entertaining, but things escalated quickly from chapter one, and there was more gore and heart-wrenching horrors yet to come. I was pleasantly surprised with how dark, daring, and suspenseful the plot proved to be.
There are also just a lot of really cool details the author added in. The work to find wolverines all takes place on a land trust reserve…which is actually an abandoned ski resort with its remains of lodges, lifts, and a history of serial murders
