I need to write this review well enough that it convinces you to read ONCE THERE WERE WOLVES. You really do want to. I read quite often, but I haven't read such a good book in at least a year, maybe five years.

This book has already been summarized so often, I only say that Inti (female) leads a team to reintroduce wolves into the Highlands in Scottland. Of course they deal with resistance. Eventually, it does appear that a wolf has killed two people.

Two other characters who play major roles are Inti's psychologically-troubled twin sister, Aggie, and Dunkin, the chief of police. Turns out, the book is not only about wolves. There are also mysteries about what happened to Aggie and whether Dunkin or a wolf killed a man.

Although I didn't read ONCE THERE WERE WOLVES in one sitting, as so many reviewers claim, I did have to force myself not to.
