I'm loving the Liam Campbell books almost (ALMOST) as much as the Kate Shugak series, and that's really saying something! Book #2 sucked me completely, and I know I'm not going to stop until I read the next two. Between the Alaska setting, interesting characters, and a terrific mystery to solve, this is a quick read that's hard to put down.

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars. It is book 2 of the Liam Campbell Alaska state trooper series. I read it in 4 days, an easy, satisfying read. Liam has two separate murder incidents. One is a multiple murder of 7 people and the other a single person. He must fly to these murder scenes, because his territory in bush Alaska is huge. He is terrified of flying, but he must do it everyday, sometimes more than once.
A subplot is his on/off romantic relationship with Wyanet Chouinard, who owns the small plane charter service that he uses on a daily basis.
The book also has some humorous observations on Alaska:
"The governor narrowly escaped prison only by payment of a $330,000 fine, but when the legislature changed hands two years later, they vacated the judgement and repaid the fine with interest."
A newspaper reporter comments "Ah, Alaska, gays can't marry ... and embezzlers never go hungry."

So Sure of Death by Dana Stabenow is another great fun murder mystery from Alaska. Once again we get to follow state trooper Liam Campbell on his quest to solve crime and maybe marry the woman he loves. I do really enjoy reading this series and will try to catch up with both series before the release of the next Kate Shugak in April.

normally I like romantic suspense with the emphasis on the suspense, but the dana Stabenow books, I seem to like the romance ever more. Maybe because the females are strong and well matched. Other 'romances' the female seems 'saved' by the guy and that turns my stomach.

I love this series as much as her Kate Shugak series. Great characters, great stories even if I did see the ending coming. Some times it's the trip getting there that counts. I'm just sorry there are only four in this series.

What a fun read! I LOVE Dana Stabenow's Kate Shugak series and I am finding this series just as much fun... well not exactly as much, because it's not Kate, but almost as much fun! :-D
I like the lead character, Liam Campbell, and I love the setting - rural Alaska. I am getting used to the other characters, and what characters they are! LOL!
