Title: Misery Bay
Review: this is the sixth in Hamilton’s very fine Alex McKnight series. Back up in Michigan’s wild Upper Peninsula on the shores of Lake Superior where our retired Detroit cop hero’s quiet life as a cabin renter turns haywire with a the next set of mysterious deaths. This one is as convoluted and harrowing as it gets, with story that takes three quarters of the book to unfold. Went a bit long for my tastes, but the setting and the characters are superb and the details are amazing. Reading this will make you feel like you live in a comparative tropical climate. Hamilton is as good as it gets with the cornet crop of this genre.
