After tracking a clever killer in Death Stalks Door County, park ranger and former Chicago homicide detective Dave Cubiak is elected Door County sheriff. His newest challenge arrives as spring brings not new life but tragic death to the isolated fishing village of Gills Rock. Three prominent World War II veterans who are about to be honored for their military heroics die from carbon monoxide poisoning during a weekly card game. Blame falls to a faulty heater but Cubiak puzzles over details. When one of the widows receives a message claiming the men “got what they deserved,” he realizes that there may be more to the deaths than a simple accident. Investigating, Cubiak discovers that the men’s veneer of success and respectability hides a trail of lies and betrayal that stems from a single, desperate act of treachery and eventually spreads a web of deceit across the peninsula. In a dark, moody tale that spans more than half a century, Cubiak encounters a host of suspects with motives for murder. Amid broken dreams, corruption, and loss, he sorts out the truth. Death at Gills Rock is the second book in Patricia Skalka’s Dave Cubiak Door County Mystery series.

Review “Skalka takes us back to Door County—this mystery is even better than the first.”—Mary Logue, author of the Claire Watkins mystery series“Death at Gills Rock is an expertly crafted, impressively researched novel with a gripping, multilayered plot; colorful, well-drawn characters that leap right off the page; tight, punchy dialog; and a pace that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go.”—Michael Norman, author of Haunted Wisconsin“Death at Gills Rock is a well wrought, tightly plotted police procedural with a nuanced, brooding detective, set on the gorgeous lakefront of a frigid Wisconsin peninsula.”—Hallie Ephron, New York Times best-selling author of Night Night, Sleep Tight“A compelling, complex whodunit saturated with long-ago sins and festering hatreds. The author skillfully uses as her backdrop an outwardly idyllic corner of Wisconsin.”—Robert Goldsborough, author of Archie in the Crosshairs, a Nero Wolfe Mystery“Three World War II heroes about to be honored by the Coast Guard are all found dead, apparent victims of carbon monoxide poisoning while playing cards at a cabin. . . . The second installment of this first-rate series (Death Stalks Door County, 2014) provides plenty of challenges for both the detective and the reader.”—Kirkus Reviews“Skalka captures the gloomy small-town atmosphere vividly, and her intricate plot and well-developed characters will appeal to fans of William Kent Krueger.”—Booklist“In her atmospheric, tightly written sequel, Skalka vividly captures the beauty of a remote Wisconsin peninsula that will attract readers of regional mysteries. Also recommended for fans of William Kent Krueger, Nevada Barr, and May Logue.”—Library Journal, *starred review

I wanted there to be a sequel to Death Stalks Door County and here it is!!Dave Cubiak has been elected sheriff of Door County. He finds himself embroiled in the very type investigation he thought he had left behind when he left Chicago where he was a homicide detective. What he ultimately finds will shatter the reputation of three war veterans. It takes a lot of digging to get to bottom of this. He is still thinking about Cate who disappeared in the last book and who he misses. She makes a small appearance at the end--but will she stay? Will there be another in this series?

So, when I already knew that Patricia Skalka had a sequel, "Death at Gills Rock," my eyebrows were raised. And as I cracked this one open and started reading, they really raised! Hey, let's get real. You can't work for Reader's Digest and not be thoughtful. Right?Dave is now Sheriff, and as always, he's on a mission. That mission surrounds the deaths of three war heros, and why anybody would possibly want them dead, IF it was murder indeed. "Big Guy" Huntsman, Eric Swensen, and Jasper Wilkins were best buddies, and they have their parties, and they like to play poker. All three of them are married, yet all three of them have their own little secret. Along with secrets, they've messed people over in their own way, but they appear to be well liked, so who's going to stop them? Well, if that was ever a mystery, Skalka dares to bring it on, because all three of them end up dead!Cubiak is on the prowl, interviewing the widows, REALLY finding out about these secrets, along with additional motivation. All the while he's investigating, he secretly hopes that a trace of Cate might show up to join him with the puppies. And oh yeah, Dave has a case to solve. You were aware of that, right? Just checking!There was nothing satisfying about this ending for me, nearly leaving me with an unfinished story. In saying that, while this was as crafty as it gets, I had it figured out before you could say, "BOO!!!" And I suppose if I'm unsatisfied, then I get to look forward to the hopes of a book #3, wishing that Skalka might actually broaden my horizons with her wit, and not just all-out brawn and gusto. Good effort altogether!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Door County, Dave Cubiak--what a story! By Carol Moffat In this book, Skalka has written a love affair with Door County as she portrays every nuanced lay of the land. We make our acquaintance to this place, the voice and character of the people by her keen ear and her vivid observation. And while we see the genuine nature of these people and the sheer marvel of their country, Skalka digs deep into social and community complexities that are, as they say, stranger than fiction.And Cubiak is back. In this book he has softened up around some previous raw edges. Now we see his quick sense of humor and his authentic penchant for true friendship. His hard wired integrity keeps his life uncluttered and he tries to keep his life simple. Yet there is a wild ride brewing for him with murder running deep.Skalka’s refined style and passion for knotty characterization, her innate storytelling and sense of wonder bring us another Cubiak mystery that reels with energy and invention.The intricate undercurrent of both Cubiak’s layered identity and Skalka’s narrative gives these stories grist for thought long after the last page has been turned.
