Kate Shugak Novels by Dana Stabenow: Set in Alaska, this is an uncommonly good mystery series by an Edgar Award-winning author
Dana Stabenow’s Kate Shugak novels feature well-developed, interesting characters, a locale known to few (an Alaskan national park) and lifestyles even fewer of us could handle.
This is one of the handsdown best mystery series I’m following. It’s on my “Uncommonly Good Mysteries” list, it’s that good.
I love the way Dana Stabenow immerses me in the culture of native Alaskans. The ancient traditions and modern technology go hand-in-hand here, with snowmobiles the main winter-time vehicle for getting around.
The plots are always good… and I LEARN so much in every book. I keep up with Dana’s new offerings via Facebook. This is one series I never want to miss a beat on.
NOTE: At this writing, there are 20 books in the Kate Shugak series, which I’ve listed in order below. It may be a while until the next Kate Shugak novel appears, as the author has launched another book series – the Silk and Song trilogy. If you’re a Dana Stabenow fan, you might want to check out her new series, which starts with “Everything Under the Heavens.” It’s not a mystery; it’s book 1 of a trilogy featuring the granddaughter of Marco Polo. I’ve been enjoying the books so far.
