About this audiobook
In A DEEPER SLEEP, her first novel since Blindfold Game, the stand-alone political thriller that made Dana Stabenow a New York Times bestseller, the author returns to the popular and award-
winning Kate Shugak series.
Kate, a private investigator, has been working on a case for the Anchorage District Attorney involving the murder of a young woman by her husband, a man named Louis Deem. Deem has been the subject of investigation before, and he's never been convicted of a crime. But Kate and her on-again, off-again lover, state trooper Jim Chopin, who arrested Deem, are convinced that this time it's different, and he'll finally be punished for his actions.
When the jury returns a verdict of not guilty, Kate and Jim are devastated, and like the rest of the citizens of Niniltna, Alaska, certain that a man has gotten away with murder. They can't help but think that it's only a matter of time before he's in the frame for another killing.
Sure enough, a few weeks later a shooting leaves two dead in an apparent robbery. But this time Kate and Jim have a witness, and they're not going to let Louis Deem get away again. Or
will he?
Dana Stabenow, Edgar Award®-winning author and New York Times bestselling thriller writer, delivers a gripping nail-biter about one town's search for justice--at any cost.
From the Compact Disc edition.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The only reason Dana Stabenow isn't listed among my favorite authors is I can't figure out how to do it. She's really marvelous. This is one of the best of the Kate Shugak series. Not only is it an excellent mystery (I had no idea who had done it until the end), but as usual, the characters are wonderful and the underlying irony is...um...ironic. Stabenow has also written some stand-alones about the Coast Guard that are also excellent.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lous Deem is apparently a serial wife killer, but can Kate and Jim finally get the evidence to convict him? Suddenly Louis Deem is dead. Who killed him, quite possibly almost everyone. Does anyone care?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The theme of this 14th Kate Shugak is domestic violence and exploitation of the earth resources in the Alaskan bush. Kate and her lover, Sgt Jim Chopin, hunt down a multiple offending wife killer. The antagonist is really slimy--a guy you really want to hate. Stabenow showcases Alaska life, once again...who knew moose marrow makes a good french onion soup? The "aunties" affect Kate's life more and more, which is likely harbinger. There are .plenty of loose ends left at the end,...where's book #15?.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Darker than her othe Kate Shugak mysteries.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Kate Shugak, along with her lover Jim Chopin, are disturbed when Louis Deem manages to walk out of a courtroom a free man once again. Everyone knows that Louis is responsible for a number of attacks on women in the park. When a murder takes place, it just has to be Louis behind it. Stabenow has written another excellent novel of life in the Alaskan bush.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Louis Deem is bad news. He's rough on wives - three dead and counting - and not a great respecter of others' personal property. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much the Alaskan criminal justice system can do about him. A slick lawyer and an eye for a credible alibi have kept him safe thus far. But Park justice is rough and ready, and you can only push the rats so far before someone's going to take a hand.Kate and Jim are feeling their way into a relationship of sorts, but when Johnny witnesses a murder that might just have Deem locked up at long last, investigation takes a front seat. Then Deem turns up dead...Slimmer than most, and with plenty of loose ends left at the end, this was not wholly satisfying. Still, it made me go hunting for the next installment, so I suppose it was a success!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was the first Kate Shugak book by Dana Stabenow that I had the pleasure of reading. We selected this one as a solid, representative example of the series for my library's mystery fiction discussion group, and it went over generally fairly well among the 9 mystery fans who participated in the discussion on January 28th, 2010.I had been of the impression that the Shugak series was a little lighter than I found this volume to be -- this was quite dark, with spousal abuse, multiple violent slayings, etc.Never-the-less, I really like the character of Kate, herself, as well as her current "love interest", Jim Chopin, and her adopted son. The plot held together fairly well, and both the characterizations and dialog were nicely done. The strongest element of this novel was its sense of place. Stabenow is renowned for the detailed accuracy in her portrayal of the Alaskan settings of this series, and I can see why.I would definitely recommend this one, although I did feel that there was backstory that I was missing, so it's probably better to start earlier in the series if you want to get into them all.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was the first book I read on the Amazon Kindle that I borrowed from Technology Services in my school district. I wanted to read something not too demanding for my first e-reading experience. It worked well. I was motivated enough by the story to get used to the Kindle.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Stabenow continues to weave interesting stories about Kate Shugak and her friends, while seeing her grow as a person and foster mother. Love the books.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Short, but sweet. Glad to have KS back.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Just finished this book. I love the Kate Shugak series and this book didn't disappoint. It was a dark look at domestic abuse which was painful to read. There were poignant moments and funny ones. I read it on a BART train going to and from the MacWorld conference in San Francisco last week. I did worry a little that someone would see me crying on the train - but I won't ruin it by saying why. Stabenow moves Kate's character forward in a big leap in this book which was nice to see.Parts of the book seemed a little rushed and perfunctory to me. I believe it was due to the long time frame that this book covered but I was worried as I was getting into the story that Stabenow was sliding along and counting on her readers filling in the blanks with their knowledge of previous works. That feeling went away as the book went on so I hope it was just a result of the long timespan covered. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to re-reading it in the future.
