Summary: First Logan novel.
Review: This is my frst Chuck Logan novel and I have to say it will not be my last! Starting with a very exciting camping / canoe trip to supposed murder, this haunted ex-cop with a world of problems of his own goes on to win out in the very cold Minnasota winter. Good story telling!

Rating:
Summary: Very good thriller....
Review: This was my first Chuck Logan book and I enjoyed it very much. The novel begins with a thrill-a-minute canoe/camping trip and continues on back in Ely with a very interesting story and cast of characters. The ending also is action packed. I gave it four stars instead of five because I felt the action bogged down in the middle a bit, but this is a very good thriller, well written and well worth reading. I will read his other novels.

Summary: 3.5 Stars
Review: This was my first Chuck Logan book, and I could sense that I was missing out on a lot of background story. I really liked how the book started out so fast-paced and intense, and kept it up for about the first 100 pages. And overall, I found the plot to be interesting and enjoyable, and the characters relatively interesting and well-rounded. I guess my only confusion was the relative lack of any moral barometer in the main character, Phil Broker. We are told he has a wife and young daughter, but then he spends much of the book pretty much going back and forth between 2 other women. I definitely felt like I was missing something that might explain his behavior. Including ostriches in the plot was interesting. And being from the Mpls./St. Paul area, it was kinda fun to actually know some of the towns/roads/areas he mentions in the book.
