Next nomination,
Breakup by Dana Stabenow. This book is another Kate Shugak mystery, but far and away the funniest one in the series. It's situational humour, mostly, but as always well and wittily written. If you ask Ms. Stabenow's readers to vote for their favourite book in the series, this would likely win handily.

Then, of course, there’s the body in the woods. And up at the old mining town. And… being Kate Shugak, somehow she can’t leave well enough alone, and begins to tease-apart a well-planned and surprising crime.
