Thanks to Torrey House Press, Consortium Book Sales & Distribution and Edelweiss I was able to get a copy of Mesa Verde Victim by Scott Graham. Thiss will be the sixth book in the series about archaeologist Chuck Bender, I had previously only read book one and thought it was less than good but this one, wow. It is really great and now I have to get books 2 through 5 to see where I went wrong. This is a great mystery and a fast read. I really recommend it.

2.5 stars.
I will say that I loved the way Scott Graham incorporated many facts about Mesa Verde and the surrounding areas, as well as teaching readers like me about the traditions of the indigenous people native to those areas. This book was very informative and I enjoyed that.
However, what I didn't not enjoy was the unbelievability of some portions of the story. I didn't find it believable that a 12 year old girl and 14 year old girl would 1) be allowed to travel to crime scenes with this average Joe dad, and 2) be okay seeing horrific crime scenes. After seeing a man brutally murdered, I doubt any 12 year old girl would say "it was actually really cool" ... Pass.

First book I read in this series and won't surely be the last as I loved it.
A fast paced, highly entertaining and well written mystery that kept me guessing till the end.
I loved the explanations about the archaeological parts and the descriptions of the setting.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Edelweiss for this ARC, all opinions are mine
