Why read it?
1 author picked Figure Eight as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Figure Eight whisks you into the Northern Lakes region of Wisconsin, offering backwoods snapshots of landscapes rarely traveled by humans.
As an avid outdoorsman, Jeff Nania knows the Northern backwoods like a beloved family member, and he has created a novel that captured and held my attention with its vivid outdoor descriptions and engaging characters. I loved John Cabrelli and rooted for him as he begins this tale from his hospital bed and takes us into his story of murder and family relationships.
This is book one in the Northern Lakes Mysteries, and I’ve enjoyed the rest of Nania’s mysteries…
From Margaret's list on mysteries transporting you into the great outdoors.
