Book Review of Karluk Bones by Robin Barefield

The hallmark of a tantalizing whodunit is keeping the reader guessing who the culprit is until the very end. Karluk Bones by Robin Barefield, who writes about Murder in Alaska Wilderness and is a charter member of Author Masterminds, is a stellar example. Living literally in the Alaska wilderness at a wildlife camp herself, this author skillfully weaves the mystery through places and references Alaskans will find familiar. I appreciated her using Wien Airlines in her story, long defunct, run off by the big guys decades ago, but a nice nostalgic reminder of an actual business back in the day. Even my hometown was mentioned in the story line. Readers may be surprised with the frequent use of floatplanes; however, it is the only transportation to get to much of the remote wilderness. This wilderness is the stage for an old and new mystery inexplicably related—read it, perhaps you will figure it out faster than I did.
