OrangeReviewStarAfter tracking down a killer in Death Stalks Door County, former Chicago homicide detective Dave Cubiak returns as the newly elected sheriff of Door County, WI. When three popular World War II vets die from carbon monoxide poisoning during their weekly card game just before the fishing community of Gills Rock was going to honor them, Dave suspects something is amiss. He notices that the door to the cabin where the men were found was bolted shut. When one of the widows receives a message telling her, "They got what they deserved" his suspicions are verified.
VERDICT In her atmospheric, tightly written sequel, Skalka vividly captures the beauty of a remote Wisconsin peninsula that will attract readers of regional mysteries. Also recommended for fans of William Kent Kruger, Nevada Barr, and Mary Logue.
