Sweet little story. Obviously more interesting if you know the characters and setting. ( )

Would have liked a more satisfying resolution to the short story.

The Boy In The Snow starts well, would be interested in reading more.

Surprised the author is British, assumed she was from Alaska or Canada.

Love the descriptions of the place, it's a part of the world I would love to visit. ( )

It's just a few days before Christmas on Ellesmere Island, a remote area in the Nunavut Territory bordering Greenland, and it's been dark for two months. A body is found in the snow, and what others at first believe to be a drunken accident, Edie Kiglatuk sees as a fight that turned deadly. If it was a fight, everyone thinks only one person could be responsible, and when that person goes into hiding with the victim's three-year-old daughter, Edie knows she has to find them before a vigilante search party does.

I've been reading good things about M.J. McGrath's books White Heat and The Boy in the Snow, so when I had the opportunity to read this short story, I couldn't say no. I've found these digital "extras" to be the perfect way to introduce myself to new books and authors, and "Edie Kiglatuk's Christmas" was no exception. The description of the setting had me appreciating the land's bleak beauty while thinking I had to snap icicles off my earlobes. Edie herself is just the type of character I can get attached to, and with a magical twist at story's end, what can I say? Those two M.J. McGrath novels have moved from my wish list onto a purchase receipt. I definitely want to know more about Edie and the country she calls home. ( )

Edie Kiglatuk’s Christmas is a great introduction to this new mystery series by M.J.McGrath and should be followed quickly by White Heat and The Boy in Snow.
Christmas is a short story Penguin Special and drops us into the unforgiving arctic wilderness of Ellesmere Island where Kiglatuk, a teacher, guide and part time detective, must discover the murderer of a young Inuit before the vengeful posse. A quick read but rewarding. ( )

Interesting stories from the far North of Canada focussing on Edie Kiglatuks and the lives of those in her settlement.
Makes for an interesting environment when outside temperature is -45 to -55 Degrees Centigrade a d there no Daytime Sun for 4 months!
I received this book from the Netgalley Website. ( )
