However, I felt the &#8220;mystery man&#8221; (no spoilers) was a bit overdone, especially toward the end. There are a few editing problems, such as when the protagonist is surprised to learn that the Iditarod is a thousand miles, after already having mentioned that fact twice. Also, there are several abrupt scene changes with no space or *** or whatever to indicate the break (though I wonder if maybe that&#8217;s only in the Kindle version).
