Book: Blue Lake, Jeffrey Boldt - Paperback Review An impressive, wonderfully detailed legal thriller showing the best and worst of humanity. Kirkus Reviews Blue Lake is at once a legal thriller, a romance, a mystery, and a poignant defense of the waters, woods and wildlife of the Upper Midwest. Warm and generous, serious and comic, eloquent and thoughtful, the novel underscores the ongoing tension between humans and our environment and ultimately celebrates the natural beauty we continue to take for granted. Lindsay Starck, author, Noahs Wife Blue Lake is a thoughtful, entertaining, and insightful novel featuring refreshingly grownup characters who deal with complex, real-life issues of love and loss, set against a backdrop of murder, mystery, intrigue, and climate change. The novels Wisconsin setting is beautifully rendered with lovely, evocative descriptions of the states small towns, rural idylls, and natural attractions. Elizabeth Ridley, author, Searching for Celia Part love story, courtroom drama, and thoughtful meditation on pressing environmental concerns, Blue Lake is also a well observed and stirring love letter to the Upper Midwest. Ted Thompson, author, The Land of Steady Habits, which was adapted into a film for Netflix by Nicole Holofcener The personal meets the political in spectacular fashion in Jeffrey Boldts suspenseful tale about the lengths people will go to exploit and protect natural resources. Boldts experience as an attorney and judge informs this taut, well-crafted legal thriller, and he provides an inside look at how competing interests duke it out while climate change looms and the stakes couldnt be higher. Christina Clancy, author of Shoulder Season and The Second Home A smart legal thriller. Boldt does for the wilds of the Upper Midwest what Grisham did to the backwoods of the Deep South.
