They could cut off his right hand, or he could use it to learn how to fire the weapon they gave him.

PI Kate Shugak is surprised to receive a call from State Trooper Liam Campbell. An even bigger surprise is being offered a job to investigate a murder; however, one of the possible suspects is Campbell’s wife. Traveling to Niniltana and working undercover doesn’t seem so bad, except someone is taking strong exception to her presence and making that clear in very physical ways. In spite of a handsome actor who is there, is soon becomes clear that the case of murder is only a small part of much bigger, uglier crimes.

As wonderful as are the characters of Kate and Mutt, it was a delight to have Liam Campbell and the cantankerous Moses, seer and master of tai-chi, back in the mix. There is no question but that Stabenow creates wonderful characters; good and bad.

Stabenow’s voice and humor bring humanity and balance to serious mysteries…”Kate marched them [the NNA board members] through old business like Alexander went through Asia…”. At the same time, this book did not, in any way, lack for suspense.

Dana Stabenow is an Alaskan who knows her state and its people. Her descriptions are powerful and create a very strong sense of place. Yet she also recognizes that life in Alaska is not for everyone…”Jim asked her [a perpetrator being extradited to another state] why she had confessed to charges that were five years old and three thousand miles away. “I’m tired of Alaskan winters.” She said.”. She also presents a very good look at the challenges, both in types of crimes and lack of manpower, policing Alaska.

One element which may bother some readers is that she addresses the issue of gun ownership and gun control. Some people might take exception to Kate’s views on guns, war, and those who fight. She does bring up as aspect of which I was unaware, yet is very disturbing.

“Restless in the Grave” is a very good book. It is well plotted. It follows both Kate and Chopper Jim’s cases, even though they are in different locations. One of Jim’s cases very much mirrors a major case currently in the news. It is suspenseful, yet with elements of humor, has great dialogue and excellent characters. For being a 19th book, Ms. Stabenow has definitely not lost her touch.

Author Dana Stabenow has yet to disappoint; whether she's writing about Kate Shugak, Liam Campbell, or branching out with stand alones like Blindfold Games or Prepared for Rage, her ability to weave mystery, social relevance, and character development never ceases to amaze me. Except for killing off some of my favorite characters and making me cry, I've yet to finish one of her books and found it wanting.

In this newest Shugak mystery "Restless in the Grave", Stabenow has once again managed to write about the personal and political intrigues that govern the great state of Alaska without boring me to tears; making even the historical background of tribal politics palatable. Matter of fact, she is one of the very few writers that doesn't make my eyeballs roll to the back of my head the moment I read words like statehood, association, politician and WWI - II. She is a master at weaving murder, bad - behaving - politicians, Native American history, and family conflict into murder, buried mystery, and just enough romance to keep hope alive.

Let’s face it; Stabenow makes even law enforcement potentially sexy.

And best of all, being the prude that I am, I can still get through the scattering of sexual encounters (usually brief and to the point) as well as potty mouthed character portrayal, with barely a flinch; particularly as the author is brilliant at using one or both as enhancements to her story, rather than fill in props for poorly developed plot lines.

If you want a great read, and enjoy reading about characters that have more life in them than your Uncle Carl and Auntie Susie, then I highly recommend not only Dana's newest Shugak mystery, but going back to the beginning with "A Cold Day for Murder", where you'll meet Kate Shugak, Katerina Shugak, Jack Morgan, Chopper Jim Chopin, Bobby Clark, the Aunties and more.

For continually keeping me entertained and wanting more, I give "Restless in the Grave" 4.5 stars.

Far from the best of the Kate Shugak mysteries, RESTLESS IN THE GRAVE at times suffers from the difficulty author's face in writing a series. One issue is how much information is necessary for a new reader to understand the character and the backstory. RESTLESS IN THE GRAVE is in many ways too depended on Stabenow's previous novels. Too much of this story is lost without the reader having familiarity with the characters. A second issue is how to keep the story fresh from returning readers. A cha...more

This latest Kate Shugak novel imports the protagonist from another Stabenow series, Liam Campbell, relegating Jim Chopin, Kate’s lover, to a walk-on role. It also takes place far away from her home base in Alaska, The Park. Liam has a problem, and he visits Jim for his help. It appears a leading citizen of Niniltna, Liam’s base, has died in an airplane crash, which might or might not have been an accident. Liam’s wife could well be classified as a potential suspect if, indeed, it was a murder. J...more

Dana Stabenow’s Shugak novels really defy pigeonholing. Yes, they are mysteries, but they are also an intimate look at life in Alaska (where writer Stabenow was born and raised,) and an ongoing set of vignettes about a unique special woman: Kate Shugak.

Yes, they are mysteries, but they are also an intimate look at life in Alaska (where writer Stabenow was born and raised,) and an ongoing set of vignettes about a unique special woman: Kate Shugak. One of my favorite things about this series (Stabenow has several series, as well as some freestanding thrillers and several works in anthologies) is that the characters grow, change, age, and—yes—die. This series works well both in its serial form and as novels read in any order you like. In each book, Kate is a fully present three-dimensional character whose life is complex, interesting, and sometimes scary.

In Restless in the Grave, Kate has reluctantly, once again taken on an undercover job. It is exciting to see a character from another of Dana’s series pop up here. Liam Campbell is an Alaskan State Trooper whose wife is the suspect in a case, and he wants Kate to help out so he can back off. The murder occurs early on—seemingly a typical Alaskan bush plane crash—but the dead man is disliked by nearly everyone, including his nearest and dearest. Kate takes a deep breath and plunges into her assignment as a waitress at a bar and grill.

There, Kate can get the real scuttlebutt on the dead man, uber-rich Finn Grant. Grant has embezzled, frauded and blackmailed just about everyone he knows, and a lot of folks he didn’t know. It is not really a matter of finding out who-done-it, but weeding out the least likely to zero in on the best suspects.

Restless in the Grave begins in Afghanistan, about as far away in climate and temperament as you can go from Alaska. Short and to the point, it will shake you and make you wonder what the hell the two places, and the characters involved, have to do with one another. Well, read on, MacDuff, for Stabenow and the intrepid Kate will reveal all…eventually.

Wonderful sidebars (subplots?!) include the arrival of cell towers for this part of Alaska; poor Jim Chopin, Kate’s love interest and occasional boss, hates always being accessible. The Niniltna Native Association (NNA) is undergoing change; Kate is stepping down from the pivotal chair position she reluctantly accepted when her Grandmother died. Her cousin is going to go on the board, and she and Kate are not the best of friends. The new head of the board seems to be much like Kate’s grandmother, and there is tension in the air at each board meeting. As usual, Kate has a lot of eggs to juggle, and no resolutions are in sight.

Her usual sidekick, the half-wolf Mutt, joins Kate as her aide-de-camp at the bar, watching pushy men and rude customers with a baleful eye. Kate’s adopted son, Johnny, isn’t around much in this book, which is disappointing, but the whole book is so much fun I didn’t notice it after a while. The relationship between Jim and Kate continues steamy, and Kate’s struggle to follow clues to their bitter end becomes a struggle to do the right thing by the living.

I would love to see some new fans for Dana Stabenow and Kate Shugak coming from this book. If you are a Liam Campbell fan or a new reader, you will find this 19th-book in the Shugak oeuvre everything a murder mystery-thriller should be.

I have read the Kate Shugak novels from the beginning. Dana Stabenow started with characterization as her strong suit, and her characters are still well-developed, interesting people who are three-dimensional enough to learn from their own mistakes. But it has been a real joy to read along as Stabenow has gotten better and better at crafting plot, leading to intricate, finely-written intrigues that keep you guessing right up until the end.

It starts on a hilltop in Helmand province, Afghanistan, where a young Afghani, kidnapped and trained by the Taliban for this one mission, aims a brand new high-tech weapon at a helicopter, killing all inside.

The scene switches to Alaska, where the protagonists of Stabenow’s two Alaskan series, Liam Campbell and Kate Shugak meet up. Campbell’s wife, Wy Chouinard, is a suspect in the crash of millionaire Finn Grant’s Piper Cub, so Liam turns to his mentor, Sgt. Jim Chopin, for help in recruiting Kate and her wolf dog Mutt for some underground detecting. Beside Wy, Grant’s abused wife, his rebellious children and half the territory seem to have a motive and the knowledge to tamper with Grant’s plane and kill him. He had recently purchased an abandoned Air Force base and turned it into a high-end destination resort for hunters, fisherman and flight-seeing tourists, as well as building a growing air-freight business, forcing out all the small time competitors.

Kate arrives in Newenham and shortly gets a job waiting tables and an apartment rented to her by the not-so-grieving widow. That same evening, she’s tumbled into a wooden box along with Mutt. That’s only one of the traps she falls into or eludes during the course of this book. Some judicious snooping and she finds that Grant was almost broke. So how did he finance the purchase of the base and refurbishing? What kind of freight is he moving to an outer island? An unauthorized excursion on a Russian fishing trawler leads to a startling discovery in more than one way, including why the murder in Afghanistan.

This is the 19thKate Shugak mystery and I’ve enjoyed them all. There are also four Liam Campbell mysteries. Dana Stabenow was born on a fishing boat in Alaskan waters and has lived there ever since. She knows the people, the territory, the flora and fauna and it’s obvious. You don’t have to read this book in order, but if you like it, try the others in the series.

In any long series, it's important to have variety. Some authors just get darker and darker, but Stabenow provides a more refreshing mix. In the previous book, many personal loose-ends were resolved for Kate Shugak. In this book, Kate needs to get out of town (er the Park), and an opportunity is presented. In the process, she meets up with the gang from the Liam Campbell series. There's no pre-amble, so you'd best have read those books too.
