This is an odd book because it's obvious that the plot was secondary to the prose. If you like really nice writing, then you'll enjoy this book. If you like a good mystery, then you won't. The plot is flimsy, the mystery predictable. The Woman Who Married a Bear could very easily have been a literary novel about an alcoholic in Alaska and his interactions with other people, including his born-again ex-wife. Why John Straley decided to make it a (nominally) mystery novel is the real mystery.
3.5 stars.
