Hazel wants justice, so she decides to use her skills and knowledge she's gathered as a medical/court transcriptionist, and become a private detective. In a city full of missing and murdered Indigenous women, one particular case has pulled Hazel in - a girl that she knows she recognizes. When her grandmother appears to her in a dream telling her to adopt a dog that will help her solve the case (and dump her boyfriend), Hazel does as she is told - only to find that things are not always as they seem.
This is a great read that adds myths and legends to a murder mystery that keeps you guessing to the end. I found the book hard to rate just based on how hard it was to get into (the multiple viewpoints can be a bit hard to figure out initially), but then how much I ended up enjoying it later on. Overall, it's a unique and well-written story and I would definitely recommend picking it up.

A slow read for me, but an entertaining cast of characters and an awesome local Indigenous author. Learned a lot about Mi’gmaq and Anishinaabe storytelling devices and histories! Very cool :)

this book is so much more than the synopsis gives it credit for, and i LOVED IT! i really liked the writing style and the way the story unfolded, and all the characters were super interesting!

One of the worst books I’ve ever read. So simplistically written yet impossible to follow. There was a lot of spelling and grammar errors and multiple points where clearly the author had rewritten a portion and yet left the older version of the text in the book. This resulted in the same event happening twice in the book ??? Do not waste your time. The characters are passive and there is no character development. I have honestly never hated something so much. Find some better local literature for the love of god.
