Better to Rest

A Liam Campbell Mystery, Book 4

By: Dana Stabenow

Narrated by: Marguerite Gavin

A party of hunters stumbles upon a desiccated human hand, a feisty grandmother meets an untimely death in her own kitchen, and the broken remains of a World War II-era transport plane emerge from the face of a calving glacier. It's all in a day's work for Sergeant Liam Campbell of the Alaska State Troopers. And 60 years ago is like yesterday.

Liam had his hands clenched around the edge of his seat and with every muscle strained upward, keeping that plane in the sky. Oh, God yes, anything but down, please, please. I'll never get drunk again, I'll do all of Miranda every single time no matter how the Supreme Court rules, I'll marry and settle down and live a nice, quiet life, just please don’t let this plane go down with me on board.

But when he risked a glance out the window, down seemed to be coming up very fast indeed, and now he cursed the light of the moon that so clearly illuminated the river beneath them.

Very interesting book

This one didn’t seem to have as much of the detailed Alaskan bush as her others. It was interesting to learn more about Wy’s family history. I felt this book ended leaving some unfinished parts of Liam & Wy’s story, maybe that’s why over a decade later she’s releasing book 5 on 2/4/21. Thou there was quite a bit of their story in one of the later Kate Shugak books, where they all worked a case together. Great narration by Marguerite Gavin.

I wish there were more

This is one of the best series of mysteries that I have experienced. Maruerite Gaven is one of the best narrators if the best. She brought all of the characters to life and gave them voices suited to their personalities. Liam, Wy and the supporting characters are rich realistic well developed characters. I'm going to miss them and I wish there waere books to continue their story. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

Great listen!

I have enjoyed all the books in this series and this one is no exception. I hope the series continues.

A Good Read

Another Liam Campbell mystery, combined with romance and history. What better? Set in a small Alaska town, the discovery of a DC-3/C-47 embedded in a glacier sets ripples throughout the town. The mystery is topped off with a couple of romances and it's all a good story.

Stabenow is a winner

Liam and Wye are a great couple; loving, rivals and fiercely loyal. Look forward to following their romance in the bush.
