Jonathan Arnold reviewed Winter of the wolf moon by Steve Hamilton
Review of 'Winter of the wolf moon' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
"Winter Of The Wolf Moon" was really good. I whipped through it in about 3 days - exactly what I needed to read. There was at least one plot point (where "the bag" was hidden) that I guessed well before Alex McKnight figured it out, but besides that, I was kept guessing pretty well.
In this 2nd book of the McKnight series, after Alex has an altercation on the hockey rink (he plays goalie!) with her boyfriend, Diane seeks him out for help escaping from his clutches. He stashes her in one of his cabins but she is gone the next day and the chase is on.

Of course, her boyfriend immediately jumps to the top of the suspect list, but he's hard to find. Then her boyfriend's enemy jumps ahead. Alex gets beat up a couple times, and left for dead in an ice fishing cabin. He has two visits to the hospital but eventually, it is all figured out. But does he have a new benefactor? Or nemesis?
McKnight is a pretty good character. He can be a bit of a whiner sometimes though, which can get on my nerves. He gets a sort of hang dog view of life, and keeps saying he wants to give things up, but he doesn't. Steve Hamilton has a great series here and I can't wait to get started on the next one.
