APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Fiona MacGillivray and her son abandoned London’s upper crust during the Gold Rush of 1898 to open a saloon in the remote Yukon town of Dawson City. In this engrossing first novel in the Klondike Gold Rush series, Vicki Delany introduces her self-centred, resourceful, and surprisingly witty heroine. After finding the corpse of a sleazy and widely disliked reporter, Fiona’s drawn into a crime-solving partnership with a handsome NWMP constable. Complex characters and plentiful suspects sustain the mystery, while Delany’s sharp, descriptive prose memorably evokes the hardscrabble life of the inhabitants of the old Yukon Territory.
