Nothing Gold Can Stay

By Dana Stabenow

Alaska State Trooper Liam Campbell is on the hunt for a serial killer.

Newly promoted to corporal, Liam Campbell is slowly making a home for himself in Newenham. With just DUIs and domestic disputes to disturb the peace, life is relatively tranquil – until Campbell's girlfriend, Bush pilot Wyanet Chouinard, delivering a shipment of mail to a remote post office, finds the postmistress murdered.

At first it seems a random assault; but then another woman disappears after her husband is killed at their gold mining claim. When Campbell connects the crimes with a twenty-year-old string of missing women, he knows he's facing a serial killer.

Reviews for Nothing Gold Can Stay

[jamespurcell · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Dana Stabenow's other Alaska series if not a pale shadow or a limp clone. It stands well on its own with vibrant characters, lively action and set in that wondrously complex state, Alaska. She uses her intimate local knowledge and insights into its native American culture to generate multifaceted and complex stories about its denizens. This one discovers and tracks a long time serial killer as he pursues his latest victim.

I liked this one--the plot is sort of crazy and the reader/listner needs patience as all of the back stories and victims develop during the story. Stabenow clearly knows Alaska and does a great job writing about the location, people & culture. Some of the characters, Wy and Moses, for example, develop more fully. All of those things seem to enhance the story. Some of the characters and locations are fascinating. Sometimes,I lost track of which/where the characters existed. Like Clancy, the writing frequently jumps around and eventually gets tied together. Stabenow writes a highly charged story that grabs you from the first page and never lets go. Next, book 4.
