I saw your comment: "I love books where I feel I am really in the place where they are situated. Atmosphere is very important. Example: just read a book based in Louisiana (a state I have never been to) but I could feel the heat and humidity, smell the magnolias and Mississippi River, and taste the crawfish and grits in the author's words."

Please tell me what book it was you read. I'm intrigued.

Have you read any of Dana Stabenow's Kate Shugak books? They're in the mystery field, but the characters are wonderful and the remote Alaska setting is exceptionally well done.

The Cutting Season by Attica Locke:

I picked it up because it was published by the Imprint of Dennis Lehane for the publisher, Harper Collins. I'm a huge Lehane fan, so if he liked it well enough to get it published I figured it must be well written.

I haven't read any of the books you mentioned, but will give them a look. Thanks.

Thanks so much for the quick response. I'm going to look for The Cutting Season.
