review 1: In Broad Daylight - I won this on Goodreads. This book was about a serial killer located in Alaska, who kills young females that are semi-athletic and more towards the independent side. The main character happens to fit this description and has also been trying to hunt him/her down for years but left the case to return to California. The killings begin again after a 5 year break period, so she comes back to Alaska to find out she is being hunted by the killer. At the latest crime scene she finds evidence pointing toward this; her name written in the latest victims blood. There were parts of this story that seemed to be missing to me? Thoughts seemed to just stop short and then you were brought to the end result to quickly? Or at least it seemed so to me. It was a quick rea... mored for me, it was exciting to chase the killer and interesting to hear about the life in Alaskan communities. It was also nice to hear about a female character who was not weak and needed to be saved by anyone else. She was tough, worked hard and was able to wear skirts or pants to do her job. She didn't let anyone walk over her.
review 2: Just an action novel, but a good one. Not for someone who wants real depth to a novel, but fun, though a little bloody sometimes. Part of the fun is 2/3 of it is set in Anchorage (and the surounds, especially the Kenai Peninsula), where I live, and the other in San Francisco, where I have visited many times. So, especially in Anchorage and the Kenai, when the author references a location (on, in at least once case, mentions a restaurant without naming it), I know exactly what is being described, and can picture the plot happening there. Unlike many authors who write about Alaska, this author describes in such a way he has obviously been here. less
