Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Dana Stabenow's latest, Bad Blood, finds Kate Shugak entangled in a bitter tribal rivalry and murder

In Alaska, one hundred years of bad blood between the villages of Kushtaka and Kuskulana come to a boil when the body of a young Kushtaka ne'er-do-well is found wedged in a fish wheel. Sergeant Jim Chopin's prime suspect is a Kuskulana man who is already in trouble in both villages for falling in love across the river. But when the suspect disappears, members of both tribes refuse to speak to Jim. When a second murder that looks suspiciously like payback occurs, Jim has no choice but to call in Kate Shugak for help. This time, though, her Park relationships may not be enough to sort out the truth hidden in the tales of tragedy and revenge.

Goodreads review by Lois on June 04, 2013

I feel guilty for not remembering all the details of the prior books. (I hope it's not incipient Alzheimer's disease!) But I don't. I remember the big stuff: the fire, something that happens in Hunter's Moon, who the main and supporting characters are (Axenia is indelible, apparently). But I don't r......more

Goodreads review by Susan on March 15, 2013

I've always felt that Dana Stabenow has a great talent for telling true-to-life stories. Combine that with a refreshingly literate skill at telling them and, with twenty books now in the Kate Shugak series, they've never yet failed to entertain. Bad Blood, the latest in the series, is no exception t......more

Goodreads review by M on March 04, 2013

Loved this book!. The quiet review of all the characters in the park, alive or past, was a bit scary because it reminded me of Hunter's Moon where everything is going so well for the people that Kate loves and then it's almost as if nature is seeking balance, forshadowing horrible things to come. Th......more

Romeo and Juliet in Alaska? Well in Bad Blood Dana Stabenow makes it work. I am on the other hand really mad at her for the ending... I have three more books to read in this series and she ends this one as she does, what's the point in continue reading? What will happen? Who will the books be about?......more
