Chief Deputy Claude Renard, first introduced in Death In The Blood Moon , returns in a gripping murder mystery set in the depths of winter in Grand Marais, Minnesota. The Northern Arts Folk School is running its annual coffin-making class titled Bury Yourself In Your Work .

The victim, while relatively new to Grand Marais, is established enough to have made some enemies. As Renard digs into Grant Silverton's past, he learns that the victim had a history of moving around. Or was it running? Renard is in a race against time to assemble the pieces of the victim's past and find a killer before the case goes cold. And in January in northern Minnesota, that can happen fast.

Chief Deputy Renard has a murder on his hands. He has one witness who saw two disreputable professional troublemakers run from the scene, and way too many suspects. This is award-winning author Jenifer LeClairââ?¬â?¢s latest book, ââ?¬Å"Death in the Wolf Moon,ââ?¬Â? A Claude Renard Mystery.
Set in the bitter cold of January in Grand Marais Minnesota, Ms. LeClair makes brilliant use of her chosen location, taking readers into its stark beauty and introducing us to the tribal lands of the Anishinaabe, sometimes known as the Ojibwe people of this famous region. Fans of well-known author William Kent Krueger will immediately recognize the Anishinaabe and will feel right at home with the sprinkling of their culture, including its language, appearing throughout this thrilling mystery.
Grand Marais is a small town, mostly populated with people who grew up in the area. Serious crime is rare here. So, when there�s a murder down at the local folk school, it�s a big deal and word of the trouble travels at the speed of cell phones. You know how small towns are:
It seems information of a salacious nature is born with an extra set of legs.
The incredibly popular coffin-making woodworkerââ?¬â?¢s class, naturally titled ââ?¬Å"Bury Yourself in Your Workââ?¬Â? has been upended by a late-night murder. The victim is a newcomer to town, having only lived in Grand Marais for a couple of years.
Ms. LeClair provides a wealth of wonderful characters for her readers. The one-legged military veteran Claude Renard, our local hero, is ironically also known as Sheriff One Step. It seems horrifying, but it�s actually a nickname given to him long before he lost his leg to an IED, and he really doesn�t mind that the moniker stuck even though he now uses a prosthetic limb. Renard is intelligent, skilled, and more complex than he lets on. He has a great rapport with most of the people in the area, including those on the reservation.
As Renard investigates the crime itself as well as the victimââ?¬â?¢s past, this case becomes more and more complicated. In trying to eliminate suspects, it seems like heââ?¬â?¢s discovering more possible perpetrators. The victim, it appears, has a past worth noting and considering. The suspects themselves are a diverse group of personalities from Sandy, the last to see the victim alive and the one to find him in the morning to the Dinkovich brothers, Darrell and Duffy. The Dinky Boys, as theyââ?¬â?¢re often called, are criminal opportunists. If they see a chance, theyââ?¬â?¢ll take it. They are purely backwoods in speech and manner, reminding me of the infamous brothers from the old Newhart TV show. You know the ones; ââ?¬Å"Hi, Iââ?¬â?¢m Larry. This is my brother Darryl and my other brother Darryl.ââ?¬Â? Just like Darryl and Darryl, I got the feeling that Darrell and Duffy shared one brain. But they give this story an extra punch that I loved.
The storyline keeps the readers involved and searching for answers. It unrolls at a good pace, giving us a taste of life in this region with some wonderfully immersive language:
He could hear the movement of water, the murmurings of Gichi-gami, as it washed over the stone beach, drawing back with a thousand whispers.
Readers will find ââ?¬Å"Death in the Wolf Moonââ?¬Â? by Jenifer LeClair to be a classic mystery, with thrills, shocks, twists, secrets, and suspense. This can be considered a clean read, even though there are old and new affairs happening here, along with treachery, deceit, and bitterness. The final chapters will have readers as breathless as if theyââ?¬â?¢ve fallen through the fabled Minnesota lake ice. This is a perfect read for mystery, suspense/thriller fans, and those who enjoy learning more about this beautiful and wild northern area.
