Critics Review
“In her enthralling new novel, The Arctic Fury, Greer Macallister takes her readers on a thrilling, if arduous, journey to the Arctic north, alongside Virginia Reeve and her all female expedition in a quest to find the ships of a lost explorer. Through alternating glimpses into the voyage itself and the murder trial afterwards, the enterprise and its secrets – both tantalizing and terrorizing – reveal themselves in turn, sweeping readers along until they reach the story’s spell-binding conclusion. A captivating look at the manner in which the “truth” is formed by the lens through which it is perceived, a lens formed by time, place, and views on women.” - Marie Benedict, New York Times bestselling author of The Only Woman in the Room, Lady Clementine, Carnegie’s Maid, and The Other Einstein
“An unforgiving, snow-dazzling landscape, a cast of extraordinary, fierce women, and a nail-biting courtroom drama that wrecked my nails makes this historical gem unputdownable!” - Kim Michele Richardson, New York Times bestselling author of The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek
