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.
