About this listen
It's fishing season, and Kate Shugak is working with Old Sam aboard the fish tender Freya when Cal Meany floats up dead. His reputation as a womanizer, strike breaker, and abusive father ensures that there are several suspects, multiple motives, and quite possibly more than one murderer. While Kate investigates the killing, her aunties mend nets, operate an illegal fish camp, and impart cultural wisdom to Jack and his son Johnny. Ultimately, Kate finds herself in grave danger, as even her aunts join the list of suspects.

This genre-spanning collection of 16 short stories features familiar characters like Kate and Jim, Liam and Wy, and Bill and Moses, but also ranges farther afield than many listeners will expect.

Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

Story
Maximilian Oceanus arrives in Spellbound Falls just in time to save Olivia Baldwin from an overly aggressive suitor, only to find himself attracted to the beautiful, if rather aloof, widow. And although Mac has come to Inglenook to get a handle on fatherhood, his newly discovered six-year-old son has set his sights on finding his father a wife. Olivia, however, is busy getting Inglenook ready for its new season, so she doesn't have time to deal with her growing attraction to the dangerously seductive Mac.

Story
In upstate New York, in the woods around Woodstock, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story.

Story
Ben McKelvie believes he's moving up in the world when he and his fiancée buy a house in the cushy Washington, DC, suburb of Barcroft. Instead he's moving down - way down - thanks to Madeleine Roux, the crazy neighbor whose vermin-infested property is a permanent eyesore and looming hazard to public health. First Ben's fiancée leaves him; then his dog dies, apparently killed by a predator drawn into Barcroft by Madeleine's noxious menagerie. But the worst is yet to come for Ben.

Story
Older than she looks and powerful beyond measure, Barbara Yager no longer has much in common with the mortal life she left behind long ago. Posing as an herbalist and a researcher, she travels the country with her faithful (mostly) dragon-turned-dog in an enchanted Airstream, fulfilling her duties as a Baba Yaga and avoiding any possibility of human attachment.

It should have been a case like any other: a missing princess, a king willing to pay in gold for her return. But before he realizes it, private investigator Eddie LaCrosse, a slightly shopworn sword jockey with a talent for discretion and detection, is swept up in a web of mystery and deceit involving a brutally murdered royal heir, a queen accused of an unspeakable crime, and the tragic past he thought he'd left behind.

Story
Few authors write with such sheer love of story and language as T. C. Boyle, and that is nowhere more evident than in his inventive, wickedly funny, and always entertaining short stories. Here are 14 new tales previously unpublished in book form. By turns mythic and realistic, farcical and tragic, ironic and moving, Boyle's stories have mapped a wide range of human emotions. The stories here reflect his maturing themes.

Too much cliff-hanging...
Where does Killing Grounds rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
There's an awful lot of cliff-hanger scenes and the Monopoly game thread seems a bit forced, but Stabenow is becoming one of my favorite authors. It's probably in the top 2-3% of my many reads.
What about Marguerite Gavin’s performance did you like?
She's an excellent narrator for Stabenow's books.

Kate's one of my Favs
I really love these, every one of them. They're good stories with great characters, but having them on audible is a real treat. Margureite Gavin does a bang up job narrating them.

This one wasn’t near as good overall
The start was very slow and kinda boring. I usually love all the details & pictures she paints as she writes. However, this one I knew from almost the beginning the character that was going to do something bad or have something bad done to him. It wasn’t until the last hour and a half that really interesting things started happening. The first half of the book was really a 3 at most but the last of the book was it’s usual 5. Great narration by Marguerite Gavin.

Alaska's salmon season is the perfect backdrop.
As I have said in some of my other reviews for this series, I love Stabenow's use of the state of Alaska, the description of its people and the land, the exploration of Aleut history, culture and government. I like Kate very much. I like the supporting cast very much. I like Alaska even more. In these books, it has become a very real, very odd, very quirky, and very appealing place. I have grown to love Alaska and all the craziness that comes with living there. In this book we find ourselves embroiled in the difficult, backbreaking work of salmon fishing. The setting is essential to the mystery which is lovely as it allows the story to flow from the circumstances. It is never jarring. This installment, and Breakup, are my two favorites of the series thus far.

Stabenow's Alaska
Alaska through Stabenow -- one more time. The crime didn't occur until about a third of the way through the book. In this one, Kate's back in the fishing fleet, this time a deck hand. The characters are real people and the narrator's voice sounds like real people. The characters are subsistence fisherman -- their options about commercial fishermen are evident and it weaves into the theme of the story. And, in the end, the whodunit revolves around that issue. Kate #8 leads me to Kate #9...can't wait.
