About this ebook
KATE SHUGAK is a native Aleut working as a private investigator in Alaska. She's 5 foot 1 inch tall, carries a scar that runs from ear to ear across her throat and owns half-wolf, half-husky dog named Mutt. Resourceful, strong-willed, defiant, Kate is tougher than your average heroine – and she needs to be to survive the worst the Alaskan wilds can throw at her.
A DEEPER SLEEP. Kate Shugak is determined to convict the odious Louis Deem, who has been arrested and tried for several serious crimes but never convicted.
This time, Kate is convinced, it will be different. But when the jury returns a verdict of not guilty, Kate believes that Deem has literally got away with murder. And when, a few weeks later, two people turn up dead after an apparent robbery, Kate can't help but believe that Deem is involved... but what will it take to bring him to justice?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Kate, Jim, Aunties and several park rats will never be the same. This book was another wowzers read, shocking moments, horror filled seconds and hours of circling sharks. There is a tick of a man in the park, he spreads death and pain. The whole park knows it but has little recourse to stop him. He's bad, sickening, I wanted him dead from the first meeting of him in the book and he gets worse. Good people get killed, innocent young lives ended, the tick or ? You want more read the books from book 1. These series is the best.I do worry for Kate and Jim. Secrets can wedge and infect after a time. I hope they are spilled before ti comes to that
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The only reason Dana Stabenow isn't listed among my favorite authors is I can't figure out how to do it. She's really marvelous. This is one of the best of the Kate Shugak series. Not only is it an excellent mystery (I had no idea who had done it until the end), but as usual, the characters are wonderful and the underlying irony is...um...ironic. Stabenow has also written some stand-alones about the Coast Guard that are also excellent.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lous Deem is apparently a serial wife killer, but can Kate and Jim finally get the evidence to convict him? Suddenly Louis Deem is dead. Who killed him, quite possibly almost everyone. Does anyone care?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The theme of this 14th Kate Shugak is domestic violence and exploitation of the earth resources in the Alaskan bush. Kate and her lover, Sgt Jim Chopin, hunt down a multiple offending wife killer. The antagonist is really slimy--a guy you really want to hate. Stabenow showcases Alaska life, once again...who knew moose marrow makes a good french onion soup? The "aunties" affect Kate's life more and more, which is likely harbinger. There are .plenty of loose ends left at the end,...where's book #15?.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Darker than her othe Kate Shugak mysteries.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Kate Shugak, along with her lover Jim Chopin, are disturbed when Louis Deem manages to walk out of a courtroom a free man once again. Everyone knows that Louis is responsible for a number of attacks on women in the park. When a murder takes place, it just has to be Louis behind it. Stabenow has written another excellent novel of life in the Alaskan bush.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Joanie just read....I love these books - great mysteries with interesting characters, Kate Shugak Mysteries by Dana Stabenow
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Kate, a private investigator, has been working on a case for the Anchorage District Attorney involving the murder of a young woman by her husband, a man named Louis Deem. Deem has been the subject of investigation before, and he's never been convicted of a crime. But Kate and her on-again, off-again lover, state trooper Jim Chopin, who arrested Deem, are convinced that this time it's different, and he'll finally be punished for his actions. When the jury returns a verdict of not guilty, Kate and Jim are devastated, and like the rest of the citizens of Niniltna, Alaska, certain that a man has gotten away with murder. They can't help but think that it's only a matter of time before he's in the frame for another killing. Sure enough, a few weeks later a shooting leaves two dead in an apparent robbery. But this time Kate and Jim have a witness, and they're not going to let Louis Deem get away again. Or will he?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Louis Deem is bad news. He's rough on wives - three dead and counting - and not a great respecter of others' personal property. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much the Alaskan criminal justice system can do about him. A slick lawyer and an eye for a credible alibi have kept him safe thus far. But Park justice is rough and ready, and you can only push the rats so far before someone's going to take a hand.Kate and Jim are feeling their way into a relationship of sorts, but when Johnny witnesses a murder that might just have Deem locked up at long last, investigation takes a front seat. Then Deem turns up dead...Slimmer than most, and with plenty of loose ends left at the end, this was not wholly satisfying. Still, it made me go hunting for the next installment, so I suppose it was a success!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was the first Kate Shugak book by Dana Stabenow that I had the pleasure of reading. We selected this one as a solid, representative example of the series for my library's mystery fiction discussion group, and it went over generally fairly well among the 9 mystery fans who participated in the discussion on January 28th, 2010.I had been of the impression that the Shugak series was a little lighter than I found this volume to be -- this was quite dark, with spousal abuse, multiple violent slayings, etc.Never-the-less, I really like the character of Kate, herself, as well as her current "love interest", Jim Chopin, and her adopted son. The plot held together fairly well, and both the characterizations and dialog were nicely done. The strongest element of this novel was its sense of place. Stabenow is renowned for the detailed accuracy in her portrayal of the Alaskan settings of this series, and I can see why.I would definitely recommend this one, although I did feel that there was backstory that I was missing, so it's probably better to start earlier in the series if you want to get into them all.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was the first book I read on the Amazon Kindle that I borrowed from Technology Services in my school district. I wanted to read something not too demanding for my first e-reading experience. It worked well. I was motivated enough by the story to get used to the Kindle.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Stabenow continues to weave interesting stories about Kate Shugak and her friends, while seeing her grow as a person and foster mother. Love the books.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Short, but sweet. Glad to have KS back.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Just finished this book. I love the Kate Shugak series and this book didn't disappoint. It was a dark look at domestic abuse which was painful to read. There were poignant moments and funny ones. I read it on a BART train going to and from the MacWorld conference in San Francisco last week. I did worry a little that someone would see me crying on the train - but I won't ruin it by saying why. Stabenow moves Kate's character forward in a big leap in this book which was nice to see.Parts of the book seemed a little rushed and perfunctory to me. I believe it was due to the long time frame that this book covered but I was worried as I was getting into the story that Stabenow was sliding along and counting on her readers filling in the blanks with their knowledge of previous works. That feeling went away as the book went on so I hope it was just a result of the long timespan covered. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to re-reading it in the future.
