review 1: Elo makes a stunning debut into the mystery genre with North of Boston. Her character is edgy but likeable, her plotting fast-paced and, while the believability factor sometimes tips the story into more of an adventure (shades of Clive Custler), she pulls it off. Elo's literary background is showcased in her masterful use of language, and her ability to create vivid descriptions and a haunting pervading tone.
review 2: After the fifth bite, the mosquito buzzed my ear, and I awoke scratching. So I finished this book. It disappointed in the finish, because the beginning had so beguiled. With rich complex characters, a lobster boat collision, a perfume dynasty, a unique propensity to avoid hypothermia and an alcoholic best friend, Piro Kasparov, emerges as an u... morenlikely unraveler of a complex mystery. But like good crime protagonists, she steps where she shouldn't but seems to rely on a little bit of luck to escape each dangerous scenario. The plot jumps the shark (nearly literally) in an unlikely excursion to Baffin Bay and a stroll on the backs of wall-to-wall narwhals. I smell a sequel. less
