Review: Frozen Sun by Stan Jones

Frozen Sun is the third of the Nathan Active mysteries, set in Alaska. I read the previous one and thought it was okay. This one is better - I didn't want to put it down (it's not a long book, mind) until the mystery was resolved, so that was great.Here's the oddity, though: by the time I finished the book, I felt very... unsettled. There's a period where the lead is pretty certain that someone he's attracted to is a murderer, and I didn't feel like the handling of that was very good. I felt uncomfortable with the fact that he seemed oddly cool with it, and then it didn't feel fully resolved in the end except in the sense that you could feel pretty certain that he didn't care.
Just... weird. I liked the mystery, but didn't love the way the character went.
