About this listen

From the New York Times bestselling author Mercedes Lackey comes contemporary fantasy Sacred Ground.

Jennifer Talldeer is Osage and Cherokee, granddaughter of a powerful Medicine Man. She walks a difficult path: contrary to tribal custom, she is learning a warrior's magics. A freelance private investigator, Jennifer tracks down stolen Native American artifacts.

The construction of a new shopping mall uncovers fragments of human bone, revealing possible desecration of an ancient burial ground. Meanwhile, the sabotage of construction equipment at the site implicates many activists—particularly Jennifer's old flame, who is more attractive and dangerous than ever. Worst of all, the grave of Jennifer's legendary Medicine Man ancestor has been destroyed, his tools of power scattered, and a great evil freed to walk the land.

Jennifer must make peace with the many factions and solve the mystery of her ancestor's grave before the world falls into oblivion.

This book was written decades before Mercedes Lackey achieved her current five-star-plus status and it shows. The story shows little of her modern brilliance and nNarration is sightly harsh with too fast delivery, and voice characterisation is occasionally incomprehensible. This would be a misleading introduction to one of my favourite authors.

I've liked a lot of her books but the author seems to be getting more and more long winded with very slight stories and so much description and character analysis. I finished listening to this book because I was in the car with nothing else available - otherwise I would have stopped at Chapter 2! Did do a lot of fast forwarding.
