“Loved the book. Read it in just two days as I couldn't put it down. Set in a favorite locale.”

“Berk's crisp prose takes you to the Yukon Territories. The book begins with a murder. The mysteries quickly deepen, widen and turn back upon themselves, twisting and braiding like the river itself. The people, landscapes and especially the river are artfully drawn around a taut plot. A good read, which leaves you hoping for more about Lydia and these frontier places.”

“A wonderful first novel and truly a delight for all the senses. I enjoyed the suspense, I liked the characters, but most of all I loved the setting. The Yukon Grieves for No One mirrors the spirit of the Yukon and the Far North as I remember it, and in many ways it mimics even the mighty Yukon River itself-forever winding and turning back on itself time and time again. Berk's passion for the high latitude of N. America exude in every page of her book. I hope we hear more from her in the near future.”

“When I started reading this book, I did not want to put it down. For one thing, I found the plot to be leading me onward and wanting to know more. The details were very good - made the setting and characters come alive. The author seems very at home in the setting and the descriptions make me want to take a trip to the Yukon - or Alaska. I'm hoping she will be writing another book, perhaps with the same setting, but I'm sure wherever it is, I will be looking forward to it.”

“I was genuinely pleased to discover a new author whose future books I look forward to with eager anticipation. Lynn Berk has written a suspenseful novel with realistic situations, characters that are true to their personalities, and beautiful descriptions of the Yukon. I truly enjoyed this book.”

“This novel takes you vicariously on a journey through the Yukon with all its beauty and mystery. In the tradition of great mystery writers, Berk develops full, living characters with whom we see the world of the novel. This is an impressive first novel and an author to watch. I'll keep my eyes peeled for the next novel.”

“Well-developed plot, interesting characters, engaging dialogue, vivid scenery descriptions and rich cultural context. Makes you want to head to the Far North.”

“The story is interesting from the start and progresses logically through the story. Having worked in the arctic I could relate to various barricades presented by weather conditions and huge transportation issues involved in such a big land area. When the book ended I wished it had been longer because I enjoyed reading it.”

“Great read and in a backdrop few have ever seen and many can only aspire to see. Well written with a feeling of authenticity.”
