Fishing, Festivities & Fatalities

Ignoring warnings to stay out of the case, Katie and Maverick track leads in what proves to be their trickiest investigation so far.

It’s Christmas in Minnesota, a wonderful time for decorations, hot chocolate, snuggly blankets, caroling, and … fishing! Katie Wilk is celebrating her first Christmas with her dad since the horrific shooting that nearly claimed his life, and when they are invited to participate in their small town’s ice-fishing tournament, they readily agree.

But the ice is a treacherous place, and one of Katie’s students accidentally falls through, creating a harrowing situation and a rescue by Katie and her trained black Lab, Maverick. Later, Katie discovers the spot where Brock went into the icy water was deliberately cut, and the real intended victim turns out to be one of the town’s least lovable, curmudgeonly characters.

But what really pulls Katie into the thick of the investigation is that Dr. Pete Erickson, the man who makes her heart beat faster, is accused of murder. There’s no way Katie can let that go! Ignoring warnings to stay out of the case, Katie and Maverick track leads in what proves to be their trickiest investigation so far.

Fiction made believable

Mary Seifert's 5th book in the series had me on the edge of my seat. It's the type of book that you hate to put down. It only took me 24 hours to read it - with breaks and meals in-between. There's a lot of suspense in her mysteries. The characters are people you can relate to. I would recommend buying the whole series, sit back, and let yourself fall into the book as if you are one of the characters. I know I did.
