Down River/Karen Harper/388 pages

Down River
     Down River is a mystery/romance novel set in Alaska.  Lisa Vaughn is attending a corporate retreat with co-workers and her boss at the lodge of her former boyfriend, Mitch.  There will be challenges and group activities and the prize is the senior partnership of a law firm.  No sooner do they arrive and Lisa is either pushed or falls into the freezing river--the first of several "accidents" that haunt their week.  People die, old secrets come to light and Lisa and Mitch re-connect.
     The story is an interesting one and the Alaskan setting provides an opportunity for lots of great description.  The author has overworked a storyline that deals with the death of Lisa's mother that was fascinating to begin with but becomes tiresome by the end of the book.
