Members Reviews:
Excellent, well written novel
Excellent, well written novel. Wild craftily sets the scene and the mood of a rough and rugged, isolated Yukon mining town, complete with its quirky cast of renegades, misfits, and hermits. I couldn't put it down!
Five Stars
A fun read!
Wild suspense as Jo is stalked by a seriel killer in a small city closed off from the world
Shamed because she did not warn the community about a strangler who struck again, despite the fact she had been asked by her police dadâs police friends not to divulge what she knew, Jo gets a job on a tiny weekly in Dawson City, a summer tourist mecca but virtually deserted in the winter when it is cut off from the rest of the world.
Soon after she arrives, she is suspected of a murder, and then another, as she begins to suspect the âSurrey Stranglerâ has followed her there.
Jo senses something wrong about the small city â some secret she feels she canât grasp. Perhaps it has something to do with the night time mining at one of the claims, a claim many miners have fallen sick working.
Or is it something else â some sort of smuggling perhaps?
And it isnât long before two men flirt with her and feels as if she may be falling in love, but with which one?
Suspense keyed by a small city shut off from the world with a killer on the loose in the dangerous sub-zero snow makes this one nail biting read. Turn off your phone, hit the john, grab some snacks and a drink and settle down to joining Jo far to the north as winter settles in, stalked by a serial killer and torn between two loves.
Secrets abound and like a lot of small communities
The setting was a first for me. A town that during the winter freeze will isolate itself due to the freeze. No flights in or out, the river freezes and everyone who hasn't left is just existing till the snow ends and the freeze ends.
Jo Silver has started out as the editor of the Daily Mail in this town in the Yukon region. She obviously has not researched the place very well and a lot of surprises mainly unpleasant face her from her first day onwards. Her involvement at the very onset with a rather smashing, handsome man does not help matters or her reputation. Secrets abound and like a lot of small communities, every person wants to protect the home grown product against the outsider. Also a feature of small towns, everyone knows everyone else's business even before it happens as Jo finds out shortly afterwards.
Several murders later and cover up from the Editor to the Mayor of the paper apparent, Jo is no further in her investigative journalism to at least uncover what is happening in this small town that warrants repeated murders of its citizens.
Held my interest throughout and I could not solve the mystery till the very end!
Great atmospheric novel
Jo Silver's career as a journalist is looking shaky after a grave misjudgment on her part. To wait for the fuss to die down and to lick her wounds in private, she takes a job on a paper in Dawson City. She arrives just before the city is about to be cut off for the winter.
