I learned a lot about cold weather wear and supplies. Really felt for the hardships the characters faced. However, I live in the desert southwest, and here we have to cope with extreme sunlight and heat. Glad I found this author and I have another one of her books to read!...more
I was really hoping to find a new author I could follow, but this one isn't it. Frankly, I found the characters uninteresting and her writing boring.

I could have cared less about solving the killings...I just wanted this book to end! I ended up just reading a couple of pages at a time and then falling asleep several times!!!! I even stopped reading it about halfway and complletely read and ENJOYED another book! VERY DISAPPOINTING. Seems like this author repeated things OVER and OVER and OVER. And, what police department would allow a civilian to encroach upon their investigation??? Especially a murder one? I'm GLAD I finished this book and can now MOVE ON! Honestly, this book left such a bad taste that I cannot WAIT to start another book and FORGETALLABOUTIT!!!!! Ugh!...more
I so eagerly awaited the release of this book, but WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! This is NOT Crichton's writing! It's barely written on a third grade level. I so eagerly awaited the release of this book, but WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! This is NOT Crichton's writing! It's barely written on a third grade level. Character development is lacking. It's all go, go, go for the DRAMA! This book is being thrown out into my compost pile for the worms to devour. That's about ALL it is good for!!!! Don't waste your time OR MONEY on this one!...more

Each character has his/her own chapter as the book progresses. It took me a couple chapters to sort out the two main male characters! But, the story was a compelling one and I was drawn into it. And, what a wicked sense of humor Burke has! Wow! It was especially interesting during this most stressful and dangerous time of our history, the Civil War, in Louisiana. Compelling story and ending....good versus evil. Which one will prevail? He states at the end he believes this is his finest work. I've only read another one of this books, "In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead", but I'd like to read more now....more
