I spent most of one day reading The Arctic Fury by Greer Macallister. All I can say after finishing it is, "Wow, wow, wow."

Part historical fiction, part crime thriller, Macallister masterfully tells the story of a failed women-led Arctic expedition through multiple points of view jumping between the expedition timeline and the trial timeline. The unique tension created by hearing the accused's story paired with the unique voices of the other women on the expedition created a palpable tension that cause me to set the book down not wanting to know what happened only to pick it up again immediately so I could find out what happened. The Arctic Fury was a delight to read.

Issues of classism, sexism and racism are touched on throughout the book.
