The Tenderness of Wolves

Vivid historical whodunnit set in the winter wilds of northern Canada in the late 1800s. An absorbing page turner, with interesting characters and sub plots. It made the cold and desolate north very real to me, sitting in my snow covered house under a blanket. Sometimes the language is anachronistic, but just plow past it and enjoy the story, and the generally good prose. A great vacation book.

This was a great piece of historical fiction, with well-formed characters and a compelling story. Excellent craftsmanship.

Pretty much what I was looking for in a Canadian historical fiction mystery experience. Passes my high school understanding of historical accuracy for the period and place, lots of interesting characters to follow around with an extra bitter cold winter to background it all.

Oh and murder most foul, to keep everybody moving.

I really loved this book, it was well written, great characters, great setting, a twist I didn't see coming, just a great read!
