I was expecting more folklore, but this was surprisingly real. She addresses many of today's issues without dramatic flare.

This is a very quick murder mystery that is excellent at representing the tough hard boiled Cash with her rough past and good heart, and the open and empty farmlands that dominate the ND/MN border. I felt immersed in the setting and in the mind and experience of Cash. I highly recommend picking this one up if you’re into mystery/thrillers. 

Enjoyment:4
Educational value: 5
Emotional impact: 4
= 4.25

While I didn’t dislike Murder on the Red River, it also didn’t stand out. 

There are a lot of books in this “mysterious with a misunderstood female lead” space, and I didn’t find this one unique enough to be memorable.

This is interesting, I liked it overall. Very interesting tale and necessary story about the history of the Indigenous peoples of America and how they’ve been treated. I will definitely read the next one.
