The protagonist has an intriguing ability. I was dubious about the historical mystery she was writing, but then became more interested in reading that part as the tale progressed. The current murder mystery kept me guessing and was cleverly concluded. The attraction between the lead characters was nicely done, as well as the secondary romance. Having been to Alaska, that added an additional attraction. Some bad language, but it wasn't excessive. It became difficult when life cut into my reading time. I did not want to put the book down. Eager to see how it ended, but really did not want the story to end . I am glad I ventured out of my cozy mystery comfort zone. I look forward to reading more by this author.
