Fire and Ice (Liam Campbell, Bk 1)

This is the first book in Stabenow's Liam Campbell series, about an Alaska State Trooper with a troubled past who has just been reassigned to Newenham, a small fishing village. As soon as he steps off the plane he runs full tilt into a murder, and the trouble doesn't stop there. It's a well written story, a good mystery, but somehow I found it difficult to relate to the characters. Perhaps I was subconsciously comparing this to her more successful Kate Shugak series, but it took me a long time to warm to the people and the place. I'm willing to give this another chance, remembering that it took time for me to warm up to Shugak as well.
