Winter of the Wolf Moon

Summary: Winter of the Wolf Moon howling good....
Review: This is the second entry in the series for author Steve Hamilton and he delivers. His protagonist, Alex McKnight is a likeable fellow with some problems stemming from his years as a cop, yet he doesn't slip down into the complete abyss, causing himself and the reader to become depressed. Alex is intelligent, funny and has a chivialrous streak that is endearing. Hamilton has written a well paced mystery that reads fast, his characters are beliveable and interesting, the dialogue snappy, intelligent and often humorous. All in all, a winning combination.

Summary: Good enough for a read
Review: this was a pretty good book, i must say that i couldnt have predicted this ending. it kept me reading, i always wanted to read "just one more chapter". give it a read, not worthy of a 5 stars though, 4 suits it just fine.

Summary: Doesn't Get Any Better Than This
Review: When you find a writer as good as Steve Hamilton, you wish they'd write faster so there'd be more and more of their books to read. Winter of the Wolf Moon is another terrific outing for Alex McKnight. Having started with his most recent book, I had to buy the previous ones (and I've got the new one on order) and I've discovered that this is an author who hit the ground running and never lets up. Alex is a character with warmth, integrity and gently self-mocking humor. He is so well-realized that his every move and thought is completely valid, as is the behavior of all the other characters in this book--including the weather, which has a personality all its own. The miserable cold, the ever-accumulating snow are vital to the plot twists; and the ending is completely unpredictable. Never does the author inflict himself on the material, but rather allows the characters to speak, to live and breathe for themselves. This is a can't-put-it-down tale, too soon ended, splendidly done.
Most highly recommended.

Summary: Steve Hamilton gives us another great mystery
Review: Winter of the Wolf Moon picks up where A Cold Day in Paradise left off. It's winter in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Alex McKnight is caught up in another missing person case involving the DEA and Russian drug dealers. Vinnie, Jackie, Chief Maven and Leon Prudell are back and better than ever. The plot takes you on a roller-coaster ride from Michigan to Canada, with Alex snowmobiling, playing hockey and spending way too much time in the hospital. And Hamilton gives you winter in the upper peninsula...a character in and of itself. You won't be able to put this one down. The only bad thing about reading Winter of the Wolf Moon, is that once you've finished, you'll have a long wait for the next Steve Hamilton mystery.
