Whisper To The Blood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Whisper to The Blood is a direct sequel to A Deeper Sleep, which I reviewed here. This is a very interesting book in that it explores all the complexities of living in such a rural community so far from any direct outside influence. One of the things I like about Dana Stabenow’s books is that all of them can be read individually and understood, but they are very much enriched by reading them in order. In this novel, Kate becomes temporary head of the Native Association that runs The Park. While Jim struggles with the fallout from Louis Deems death, a new mining company is wooing the park rats in order to start a massive new open pit mine in the far reaches of The Park. When a man from Johnny’s past appears in The Park, the bodies start to pile up and it’s up to Jim and Kate to figure out what’s going on.
