Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 05 12, 2011
A wonderful YA mystery set in suburban Anchorage. Each chapter opens with the thoughts and feelings of a cow moose who may or may not have inside knowledge about the death of Jake Jackson, Denali Hawthorne's neighbor.Denali is an insatiably curious 16 year old not convinced that the police have their facts straight. She found Jake's body in her front yard and takes proprietary interest in solving the case.Stick around at the end, where the author throws in a freebie - a short-short involving missing pieces of valuable art and a winter carnival. Denali, of course, sorts things out.Recommended reading for all YA mystery enthusiasts and anyone who likes moose.
