Inuit RCMP solves murder of tribemen, including his elderly mother Scott Young died on June 12, 2005 at the age of 87. This book is the second and last of mysteries he wrote featuring Inuit RCMP officer Matteesie Kitologitak, the other being Murder in a Cold Climate. This book was different from the usual mystery in that there are no red herrings or false leads. The obvious suspect from the beginning turns out to be the guilty party. But along the way the reader learns a lot about the people of the High Arctic and their way of life. I'm very glad I found this book at the library book sale. I'll certainly be looking for the first one and also Scott Young's memoirs. Neil isn't the only talented member of the Young family. Matteesie is RCMP stationed in Ottawa but sent to the Northern Territories to solve a gruesome double murder of two young men, in the condo next door to where his mother, who is injured immediately after the murder, is staying. While investigating these murders, Matteesie encounters secrets, lies, drugs, booze, traditional ways and fear. At the heart of the fear is the town bully who was able to convince the prison psychiatrist he had changed his ways and should be allowed to go back home, in spite of the ban meant to keep him away. It's obvious from Young's writing that he has a deep affection for his characters and the setting. No one is completely innocent or completely guilty. It's this nuanced approach which made me enjoy this so much. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
