A Montana Mystery Featuring Gabriel Du Pré
Montana, “the last best place” of the disappearing American West, is the setting of Peter Bowen’s splendid first mystery novel in a series featuring Gabriel Du Pré. A cattle-brand inspector and occasional sheriff’s deputy, Du Pré moves easily among the ranchers, cowboys, Native Americans, barflies, dreamers, and Eastern dudes who populate what's left of the frontier.
In the desolate hills of the Fascelli family ranch, a skeleton has been discovered. The sheriff needs Du Pré's long experience in Montana to identify the bones. What Du Pré finds leads him on a search through the history of a troubled family, a search that brings him closer to a secret from his own past. Along the way, Du Pré meets a range of interesting folk, some to his liking, some decidedly not.

Eleştirmen yorumları
“As the best literary novels are able to do, Coyote Wind brings many worlds together and hones the language to create a fresh, memorable character and a profound vision.”
(New York Times Book Review)“Bowen tells his story in short, perfectly crafted scenes. The dialogue, the relationships, the Montana landscape, and, most of all, the quirky and memorable characters are all matchlessly drawn.”
(Denver Post)“Bowen’s writing is lean and full of mordant observations. His hardy characters…come to life, and his wry humor provides relief from the haunting, wind-bitten cattle-ranch landscape.”
(Publishers Weekly (starred review))“The delight of this mystery is…the characters and the details of life among the Meti people. Christopher Lane shares those details with an intimate voice that drawls but still moves quickly.”
(AudioFile)“The great story and narration make this a most enjoyable production…[Lane’s] skill is especially evident in the voices of the secondary characters when he reads scenes such as a shootout involving local law enforcement—the panic and terror of the dispatcher sound perfectly real.”
(Kliatt)This was so well written and brilliantly narrated.

The author informs about a location and people and their history that I had no knowledge of until I listened to these stories. Yet he doesn't lecture, the information is disseminated interwoven in the narrative. It's very clever. He creates an imagery of Montana so wonderfully that I can see it in my mind.
There are two narrators used for these books, usually that is a problem but not in this instance both are equally good and somehow manage to capture very similar voices for the main characters so there is no jarring.
I am addicted to these people and place and I suspect I will go back to listening to them from the beginning very soon, not something I do with most stories.
Interesting, engaging, addictive - SUPERB

Really looking forward to spending almost another 100+ hours in company of these fantastic, fascinating and wonderfully well-rounded and realistic characters, in the magical setting of Montana... Fantastic and highly recommended use of anyone's time.

I enjoyed the cultural references too. They were an interesting and integral part of the story and didn’t feel as if they were merely issues that the author wanted to push.
I laughed out loud throughout one of the later chapters during which a major purchase was made by an acquaintance of Gabriel’s. He reminded me so much of my husband! For those old enough to remember the Tales of the Riverbank TV series, think of Mr Toad of Toad Hall.
The narrator was superb.
I recommend it highly.
An excellent story with perfect narration
