Cry Dance

An Emmett Parker and Anna Turnipseed Mystery

De: Kirk Mitchell

Narrado por: Stefan Rudnicki

If there's one thing that Bureau of Indian Affairs Investigator Emmett Quanah Parker knows, it's that the dead don't always stay dead.

When the corpse of a woman, brutally murdered and bizarrely mutilated, is discovered on Havasupai Nation land, Parker is paired with FBI Special Agent Anna Turnipseed in a hastily assembled task force of two. The two share a mixed Native American ancestry - and little else. As they are pulled deeper into a complex case, Parker suspects they are being led, like Custer to a Little Bighorn, into a killer's trap.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Nail-bitingly intense....A breathless page-turner...with memorable Native American myths and an outdoorsman's respect for the Southwest's brutal beauty." ( Kirkus Reviews)
"Plenty of strenuous treks through rugged terrain....What a great guy to keep around." ( New York Times Book Review)

Educational and interesting

Gripping at times, hard to follow at times with all the different names. Narrator a little monotonal but easy to understand.

Surprisingly captivating the longer you listen.

I wasn’t sure I would be able to get engaged enough to enjoy this book for first few minutes, but I’m so glad I kept listening!

Good story

I came to this one after finding it on sale and wanting a start of a series. The characters are engaging and the descriptions are clear and imaginative. I will definitely read more in series.
I liked the story but wasn't my favorite narrator.

Author is great! Narration is excellent.

K. Mitchell has the same depth and breadth about his writing as Michael
Connolly, who I hold as a standard for realistic police procedurals. S. Rudnicki
is paired perfectly with this work. Thanks. I'm glad I found this combination!

Really enjoyed cry dance

I really enjoyed this novel. The only thing was I wish I had a map to look at and try to familiarize myself with the different Native American tribes and where they were.

good descriptivt characters, setting,,culture

Good read, but not suspenseful enough for me. I would give Tony Hillerman a 5 in story telling and this book a 3.

Pursuing Evil

This first in the Emmett Parker and Anna Turnipseed Mysteries is an edge-of-your-seat ride through Indian territory in pursuit of pure evil. The rookie, Anna paired up with the battle fatigued, Emmett make an odd pair, mixing like oil and water at first, yet as time goes on Emmett is strangely drawn to the young FBI agent. When the faceless body of a young woman is found and the two are assigned to the case, the investigation will take them on a chase for a killer that will pit them both against the forces of pure evil. I really like the American Indian lore in the story, the descriptions of the western landscape and the interaction between Parker and Turnipseed. Excellent story and resolution. I'm looking forward to the next in the series.

Good book

Enjoyed the book. Worth the money. Good story line. Good character development. Good twists. Believable

Cry Dance

This is the first book in this series. I listened to it once and didn't get it. I listened to it again and paid closer attention to it and I loved it. I will continue to the next book. I think this will be a good series. But I had to learn everyone and get into it. Stefan Rudnicki did a great job narrating this book.

Enjoyable

Refreshing to have a story with a Modoc main character! I couldn't find any evidence the author was, himself Native, but he managed to write with the insight of lived experience!

As a Navajo who married a Modoc, he knows the are and the existence!
