Book
The mountains bow down / Sibella Giorello.
"Even Alaska can't give Raleigh Harmon a vacation from her job as an FBI forensic geologist. A cruise to Alaska sounds like the perfect vacation; it's a geologist's dream and will give Raleigh space to sort out her feelings about her recent engagement. But before the ship even reaches its first port, a case manages to find her. The producer of a movie that's being filmed onboard goes missing and is then discovered hanging from the railing. Suicide seems to be the cause, but Raleigh quickly realizes the pieces don't add up. When the Seattle field office sends Jack Stephanson to assist her in the investigation, her personal uncertainty skyrockets. Why is it that she forgets to even call her fiance back in Virginia. And Jack seems to know her as well as she knows herself. She'll have to wait to sort out those feelings, though, because she and Jack only have five days before the cruise ends to solve this case.

*Starred Review* When newly engaged forensic geologist and FBI Special Agent Raleigh Harmon joins her mother, Nadine; aunt Charlotte, owner of a New Age boutique; and Charlotte's bizarre friend, self-declared psychic "Claire the Clairvoyant," for an Alaskan cruise, Raleigh knows it won't be smooth sailing, especially since her mother's mental illness seems to be getting worse. But what Raleigh doesn't expect is to be involved in a murder investigation during her "vacation," or that her old nemesis, FBI Special Agent Jack Stephanson, would be flown in to help her find out who killed Judy, wife of movie star Milo Carpenter, who's filming a movie onboard ship. Against her will, Raleigh forms a bond with Jack as their investigation twists and turns through a maze of not-so-usual suspects. Giorello has won the Christy Award and has received two Pulitzer Prize nominations. When you read this book, you'll see why. Libraries will want Giorello's latest, along with the others in the series, The Stones Cry Out (2007), The Rivers Run Dry (2009), and The Clouds Roll Away (2010).

In her fourth adventure, Raleigh Harmon, a geologist-turned-FBI agent, is on a much-needed vacation, an Alaskan cruise, when a movie producer is found hanged from the ship's railing. Though the death is assumed a suicide, Raleigh suspects foul play. A call to her field office in Seattle brings in Agent Jack Stephanson, whose presence confuses her feelings for her fiancé. VERDICT Giorello won the Christy Award for this series' debut (The Stones Cry Out). Each entry has proven better than the one before, and the latest installment is no exception. Crisp writing, fast-paced action, and beautiful descriptions of Alaskan landscapes make this an essential read for fans of Irene Hannon. [See Hannon's Fatal Judgment, reviewed below.âEd.]
