Lucky you! I'm still down the line on Desolation Mountain cue. :( If you need something new, have you ever tried the Steve Hamilton - Alex McKnight series? Kind in the same vein as the Cork O'Conner series. This one set on the Superior South Shore in the Michigan UP. I've blown through the whole series and really liked it! "



Thanks for the heads up!



BTW: My copy of Desolation Mountain just came in. Just in time, too, as we head out tomorrow at dark-o-thirty for 4 nights at a buddy's place on Sand Point Lake.

Sweet! Just in the nick of time...
Have fun on Sand Point. Been on Sandpoint & Namakan walleye fishing the last couple of springs for the first time and really liked the area. That would be a sweet lake for a cabin!
Have fun.

If anyone likes Northern Minnesota based mysteries, you might like Vidar Sundstol's Minnesota Trilogy ("The Land of Dreams" being the first in the series). Found the series at my library this past year and really enjoyed it. All the series is based around Lake Superior North Shore and Duluth area. Was fun to actually stop by Father Baraga's Cross on the North Shore (where the crime takes place in the first book) while I was in the midst of reading. Definitely enhanced the imagination.
