Whisper to the Blood<\/a><\/em> (2009) Dana Stabenow<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Park is still uneasy after the death of Louis Deem, and when a representative of a mining company comes in talking up a gold mine, things are stirred up even more. Residents are attacked and their supplies stolen, and people are starting to take matters into their own hands.<\/p>\n

In the midst of this Kate and Jim are dealing with the secrets they have kept from one another–even if those secrets were kept for good reasons.<\/p>\n

And to add insult to injury, Kate has been appointed to the Board to replace Billy Mike, and the aunties have manipulated things to make Kate the Chairman–a task for which she is woefully unprepared.<\/p>\n

I particularly enjoyed Kate’s evolving relationship with the aunties. They have been a support for her since her childhood, and are the center of the lives of the residents of Niniltna. But the proposal of the mine is splitting the town, and Kate is not sure if the aunties have the best interests of the town in mind.<\/p>\n

We also see Kate and Jim’s relationship further evolving–they both have to deal with Jim’s past and his past popularity with the women of the park.<\/p>\n

Although the events in those book are closely linked with those in the previous book, you should be able to read this book without having read previous books in the series. On the other hand, you may miss a couple things, especially in Kate’s relationship with the aunties.
