Winter's End Winter's End

Publisher Description

The fourth installment in the gripping, atmospheric Alaska Wild series, Paige Shelton's Winter's End.

It’s springtime in Benedict, Alaska, and with the warmer weather comes an unseasonably somber local tradition...the annual Death Walk. At the end of each brutal winter, citizens gather downtown and then break into groups to search the community for those who might have somehow gotten stuck at home. Beth Rivers sets off with her friend Orin and dog Gus, toward the cabin of an elderly resident, intending to check on him.

When they reach the cabin, the old man is alive, but not in the best shape. Beth stays with him while Orin hurries to town for help, but it’s not Orin who returns. Gril comes back with shocking news, and it soon becomes clear that Orin has also vanished. When they discover that their friend has been doing some top-secret research, they start to worry he’s been exposed, or worse.

Meanwhile, Beth continues on her own search, for her father, who allegedly is alive in Mexico, but won't return her calls. Still, she's making progress in healing from her own trauma, though can't quite shake the feeling she's being followed...

Dead Man Walking

Paige Shelton has done it again! An intriguing new look on life after the deep winter in Alaska. While still cold in June, it’s interesting to watch Beth maneuver around the wildlife in the small town of Benedict and in true fashion, help solve a murder! Dun, dun, dun! Who didn’t survive the winter? Find out at the annual Death Walk! Where residents show up for accountability and those missing are…hunted. Such an interesting idea brewed with excitement and mystery. A new way to check in on your neighbors.

This time around, I enjoyed getting to know Viola’s character more. It really matches up with her tough chick attitude. And really, she is a tough chick and for good reason. New felon to the area, Chaz, is a treat to this series. I loved everything to do with his storyline. Especially since he reminded me of Neal Caffery from the show White Collar. Something about wanting to see the kind-of-good-guy do well, type of thing!

With every book there are answers for Beth, but also (with her loss of memories from her trauma) more mystery! I can’t wait for the next book in this series. A couple of new developments have given me lots of anticipation for the next one! If you haven’t started the series yet, start at the first one Thin Ice. It’s a must read series!

Anxiously waiting,
