White Heat by MJ McGrath was not the book I thought it would be. Set in the artic, Ellesmere Island, the lead character, Edie Keglatuk has to solve a mystery of two explorers killed while she was guiding them on Craig Island. Then the mysterious suicide of her step-son. The deaths keep piling up as does the passage of time. The story was plausible, but the passage of time in the novel was not. (Partly to do with alcohol abuse by the lead character.)
I don't know, but somehow the book was just too long for the story the author wove. It was not my favorite, though the pace did pick up at the end. I wasn't crazy about this book.
