Synopsis

No nine-to-five cubicle career will suit Stacie Calder—the naturalist much prefers working in the great outdoors. Specifically, the spacious and spectacular Alaskan wilderness, whose rugged charms she shares with sightseers on the top deck of the tour boat where she works. But one May afternoon, Stacie’s passengers see more than glittering glaciers, frolicking harbor seals, climbing bears, and soaring seabirds…they also witness a man lying dead in the frigid Alaskan waters. And it seems likely that someone gave him a fatal push. Stacie didn’t know the unfortunate victim, but he sure wanted to know a lot about her. He spent most of his final afternoon bombarding her with questions quite awkward to answer. And when he wasn’t in her hair, he was arguing incessantly with the boat’s beleaguered crew—which makes for a suspect list about as long as the passenger manifest. Furthermore, as police helicopters relentlessly circle her boat in search of any clues, Stacie is shaken to find herself on that suspect list. Before the tour boat reaches shore, Stacie—accompanied by her beautiful blue-eyed husky, Sasha—must deduce just who sent the testy tourist tumbling into the turgid waters and have the authorities take custody. Because if she can’t, the killer might aim a fatal ice-cold stare at her.

Bear Witness is a nice start to the new series, Alaska Untamed Mystery, and one that I will be looking forward to reading new books in the series. Set against the beautiful Alaskan landscape, it is easy to imagine the lovely setting with the seals, eagles, bears, and glaciers along with other wildli......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on August 26, 2021

This is an intriguing cozy mystery that I was interested in reading. Stacie loves leading tours in Alaska, and teaching others about wildlife is just about her favorite thing to do. Her dog Sasha is always by her side, which adds cuteness to the story. When Stacie notices a frequent passenger hasn't b......more

Goodreads review by Carrie on June 06, 2022

3.5 stars Two things initially drew me to this book – that great cover & the fact that it’s set in Alaska. I’ve mentioned before how Alaska is on my bucket list and while reading Bear Witness, I found myself wishing that Stacie was a real person – because if I ever do get to Alaska I want to take a......more

Goodreads review by Dianne on April 26, 2022

1.5 Stars Rounded Up. For an author who has published over 50 books, I expected more...a lot more. This was supposed to be a cozy mystery but what we get is a book that relies on repetition (perhaps to plump the word count?) and a book that forces you to suspend your disbelief and not in a good way.
