A great story with intricate plots that weave together into a totally unexpected but believable climax. The characters developed as the setting in Northern Minnesota is brought to life as a worthy backdrop to this excellent book. The author's knowledge of the first American tribes brings them sensitively into the plot. The wide compass of this story makes it a compelling read.

A really satisfying thriller on many levels

Some personal analysis ....
This author is different from most modern authors, because females are not so lauded in that effort to appease the feminist ethos. There is a sympathetic portrayal of men, which I find totally refreshing.

Proper mystery and jeopardy

I guessed the twist 3/4 through hence the 4 star story rating. This is the second book and I really enjoy the pace. Taking time to build the characters and keeping the story moving along.
I’ll probably try the third in the series.
