This particular book, though good story line, is not a good read for strong Christian beliefs. I felt insulted with the ideology that all Christian beliefs are lumped in with all fanaticism of the old tent revivals!

Reading this series is addictive. Kate is such an original character and her supporting cast never disappoints. The plots are always inventive and I am learning more than I ever thought I'd want to know about Alaska and its natives. I started with book #1 and am working my way through them, trying to ration so they will last me at least a few months.

The story was great! As always, Dana gives wonderful descriptions of Alaska and it's people and history. The plot is a little troubling as it makes you question your own religious beliefs. Sometimes there are no easy answers. Sometimes it's hard to understand why people do questionable things in the name of religion.

Kate Shugak and Mutt are front and center in another great mystery novel. Kate and her wheel chair bound Vietnam Vet friend (and ex-lover) Bobby, and a pickup named Dinah (who had come up the Alcan and run out of money) are picking morels. After the previous season¿s forest fires, morel picking is outstanding and buyers are up from the lower 48. So these three are camped out loading buckets, making money and enjoying life. Until Kate and Dinah stumble upon a body in the ashes. It has been there awhile ¿ long enough to have mushrooms growing out of it¿s skin and ash. After they report it, Kate is visited by a small boy, Matthew, that wants to hire her to find his father who is missing. It doesn¿t take long to put two and two together. The body is his father ¿ Daniel Seabolt. His body has been there since the previous year and he is naked ¿ miles from the nearest water or road. As Kate learns more about Daniel and his father, the Reverend Simon Seabolt, the pastor of a fundamentalist church, the more she believes his father had something to do with his son¿s death. The church is almost a cult for most of the town. Daniel had been a teacher of science and there had been a huge controversy about his teaching of evolution at the school with the parishioners and his father leading the charge. Stabenow does an excellent job again of laying out a complex mystery with the grandeur of Alaska. Having lived there many years ago, I can almost feel the air and heat, smell the forest and hear the wind. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting a great summer diversion.

Overview
A mushroom hunting foray turns gruesome when Kate Shugak stumbles across a burnt and decaying corpse amid a grove of morels. Was the deceased the hapless victim of last year's forest fire? Why has no one reported him missing? And why wasn't he wearing any clothes? Absent evidence of foul play, the state troopers are inclined to call it death by misadventure; Kate's investigative instincts suggest otherwise, leading her down a path that requires she confront issues of community, faith, and free will.
