A Loon Lake Mystery

review 1: I had to start reading this book twice - it didn't quite catch me the first time. Although the dialogue moves along pretty smoothly, I can't quite fully attach to the characters. Love the local setting, though!It's late January at Loon Lake, with a International Ice Fishing Festival going on, and wacky-but-lovable Ray Pradt trying for a spot on reality TV. Police Chief Lew Ferris and Doc Osborne are busy enough with the activities in town, and are called out to investigate a missing cross-country skier, who is found murdered. Plus the woman president of the local college feels she is being stalked, with her new husband as the prime suspect. Will all these events erupt into a big fracas?
review 2: Ms Houston presents a wonderful picture of the Wisconsin Lake cou... morentry in the winter. She creates an atmosphere in which the reader can feel the chill of the atmosphere that the characters are in. She creates a modern story that has you learning much about cyber crime as the characters. Her characters are real and they engage you into their lives and concerns. The story is one of a continuing series but has just enough back story to give the characters depth with out bogging you down in details or leaving you wondering what went before. It can be read as a stand alone or in the series with equal ease and enjoyment. less
