Hunter's Moon

IMHO, this is the best of the Kate Shugak novels to this point.
This time Kate takes on a job guiding a group of German hunters going after Alaskan big game. Suffice to say things do not go as planned; in fact, they go very badly indeed.
I reckon it took a lot of courage for Dana Stabenow to write the heart-rending conclusion. Can Kate recover from the emotional damage? Never completely, I suspect.
4.5 stars rounded up.
