a sedated ROASTING of Wild Dark Shore (Charlotte McConaghy)

I didn't even read the synopsis before and I happen to love that book because it's called Once there were wolves and that one is also a lot about ecology and it's about a scientific project of reintroducing wolves into Scotland where they have been extinct for several hundred years. And that one also had a little mystery tying in things together.

It's incredibly messy. I really thought the author would have taken her last stunning novel and just kind of increased her skill and become more efficient in blending her themes into a plot because that was my one criticism of her other book as well, that the mystery element could have meshed nicer with the conservation element.
