Homicide is always an abomination, but there is something exceptionally disturbing about the victim discovered in a high, lonely place: a corpse with a mouth full of sand, abandoned at a crime scene seemingly devoid of tracks or useful clues. Though it goes against his better judgment, Navajo tribal police lieutenant Joe Leaphorn cannot help but suspect the hand of a supernatural killer.

Reservation "bad boy" Thomas Begay is found dead drunk under the La Plata Bridge, which is not unusual for him. What is unusual, however, is that beautiful BIA investigator Patsy Greyhorse is found lying beside him, not drunk or even a Navajo but very dead nonetheless. Charlie Yazzie, fresh from law school, risks his career and even his life to help his old friend. The answer seems to lie with the Yeenaaldiooshii...should one choose to believe in such things.

Publisher's Summary
Now, Curtis's photographs are on display at the museum of St. Francis Mission on the reservation, and history seems doomed to repeat itself. A descendant of the tribal chief who appeared in Curtis's pictures has been shot to death, and the museum's curator has disappeared. The two incidents may be linked to the near century-old murder. Soon, Arapaho attorney Vicky Holden and Father John O'Malley will discover an even more disturbing connection to present-day events.

Another murder-by-narrator
The premise and the plot are interesting and engaging. The writer, however, must have attended one of those awful workshops where they proselytize "show not tell" - about the most misused advice there is - with the predictable result that her characters pluck, swivel, gulp, freeze, like they all have nerve disorders, and spend most of their time not looking at each other. There are also some very elementary errors, like grabbing a menu off a podium. And a few holes in the story, like: If you were desperately investigating a particular person's recent activities, and if you found that this person had intensely scrutinized an old photograph, even to the point of getting a magnifying glass for it, and then got all excited and offered a huge amount of money to have it ... would you give the equivalent of "hmm. thanks. bye" and then leave without looking at it?
AUDIO: Oh, spare us from this reader! She's a very poor actress, and poor with voices and accents, overacts unbearably, especially during sensitive moments. She often has no sense of the characters' personalities, or of the point of what's being said, and is often gratingly shrill. Sometimes so awful I was embarrassed for her, as when one of the Arapaho elders inexplicably develops a thick Irish accent. Worst of all, she acts out everything like "sighed," "drew her breath in," "took a gulp of air," "small laugh," "big guffaw," "choking laugh," "stutter," -- aack! She did everything short of belch and break wind. I'd like to read more from this author, but don't know if I can stand listening to this reader again.

Mystery with historical interest
This is a book in the Father John O'Malley series, which takes place on the Arapaho reservation. He is the Irish priest at St. Francis Mission, and he has a great love for the people he has come to know and feel a part of--and they love and trust him in return.
In this book, murder is afoot--both in the present and in the past. They are linked through some photographs that were taken by a famous photographer at the turn of the twentieth century, as he sought to depict the Native American lifestyle, even though it had meant he had to stage the pictures rather than find them in a natural manner. This was the opportunity for a shocking murder to occur--which has repercussions through the generations, and provides a link to the crimes occurring now.
Ftr. O'Malley and his lawyer friend Vicky Holden (or if he were not a priest, she would be more than a friend) have worked together on other cases, so it is natural that they come together again for another really good story, filled with interesting lore about the Arapaho people, and well-drawn characters.
The story itself is good, and a word about the narration. I think that for the most part she is excellent. But in places, it sounds as though she is trying so hard to have crisp, clear diction, she overdoes it a bit--you can hear the final "t" sounded on too many words. However, I'd like to give her a "wavy hand" on this (good and bad mixed) since in other respects, she has an uncommon ability to create very good voices, with unusually good inflections, voices tones, and little things--like her including a throat clearing, laugh, indrawn breath, etc--that give a more authentic sense to characters' dialogue. This is the third I've read in the series, and find them very good.

Stunning Historical and Fictional Tale
Wow! Author Margaret Coel does it again with Wife of Moon, combining a fictional story with an historical account involving famous Indian photographer, Edward Curtis (1868-1952). The book opens in the year 1907 with the photographer instructing the tribe to get into position for the staged battle which he is about to photograph. The Indian warriors have their weapons loaded with blanks and await Curtis’ command. The beautiful Indian mother, Bashful Woman (married to a white man) and her young child are in a tent. The daughter of Chief Sharp Nose, Bashful Woman is married to Carston Evans, a white man who asked the chief for her hand in marriage. Long loved by all the young warriors, but especially by Jesse, who had come to St. Francis Mission School and learned to speak English . . . befriending the young Indian maiden. Chosen to assist the photographer because of his ability to speak the white man’s language, Jesse is poised to hand the heavy glass plates to the photographer as he needs them. The photographer gives the signal for the warriors to begin the fake battle, and begins taking the photographs . . . but the screams are all too real. Continually handing Curtis the glass plates as instructed, Jesse is filled with fear and apprehension. The gunshots sound loud, the horse’s hooves beat hard upon the earth . . . and when all of the ammo is spent and Curtis has finished capturing the scenes, the wails and moans of the tribe can still be heard. Bashful Woman lies in a pool of blood in her teepee. Carston Evans testifies that he witnessed the Indian Warrior, Thunder kill his wife. And that is how the tale has been passed down. In the current day, Father O’Malley is busy at St. Francis Mission with a new curator for the Arapaho Museum and an exhibit of the old photographs that Edward Curtis took back in 1907. Its drawing lots of visitors from far and wide. Vicky Holden has been called to represent an old school friend who is a suspect in the murder of his wife . . . a descendant of Chief Sharp Nose. With news flying on the moccasin telegraph, its hard to know for sure what’s going on. But its surely not boring. And its never what it looks like on the surface. This book in the series is full of the tribal culture, which I love, and rich in the wisdom of the grandfathers and grandmothers of the Arapaho tribe. Don’t miss it!

Margaret Coel's Arapaho Indian Mysteries are great. I love the stories of Indian culture and the plots are well done. These would all receive five stars except for the reader. Her midwestern accent is a bit over the top and somewhat distracting. Words ending in

Investigative journalist Laura Chambers is back in her tiny hometown of Hillsborough, North Carolina, the one place she swore never to return. Fired from The Boston Globe, her career in shambles, she reluctantly takes a job with the local paper. The work is simple, unimportant, and worst of all, boring - at least until a missing girl turns up dead, the body impeccably clean, dressed to be the picture of innocence. Years earlier, 10-year-old Patty Finch left home and never made it back. But for the people of Hillsborough, Patty was just the beginning.

The work is simple, unimportant, and worst of all, boring - at least until a missing girl turns up dead, the body impeccably clean, dressed to be the picture of innocence. Years earlier, 10-year-old Patty Finch left home and never made it back. But for the people of Hillsborough, Patty was just the beginning.

Story
Absalom “Abbie” Kearney grew up an outsider in her own hometown. Even being the adopted daughter of a revered cop couldn’t keep Abbie’s troubled past from making her a misfit in the working-class Irish American enclave of South Buffalo. And now, despite a Harvard degree and a police detective’s badge, she still struggles to earn the respect and trust of those she’s sworn to protect. But all that may change, once the killing starts. When Jimmy Ryan’s mangled corpse is found in a local church basement, this sadistic sacrilege sends a bone-deep chill through the winter-whipped city.

Tensions mount when the body of a female migrant worker is found in a shallow grave on the edge of the property.
