Sorry,but after enjoying the first book in this series, I found Lane's continuation of over the top characters and events unable to sustain my interest or enjoyment. The novelty of the first book wore off quickly, so I dropped out of this one after giving it a chance. If you want better written and conceived Alaska or Native American mysteries, read Dana Stabenow, Stan Jones, Tony Hillerman, Margaret Coel, James Doss, or Craig Johnson.
