Silent Are the Dead by D. M. Rowell

5.0

One of my first reads that is deep in Native American culture, this is the second book of the Mud Sawpole series. Carrying on from book 1 we find Mud overtired and still running around to fix the tribes issues, having just solved a murder and dealt with the theft of a tribal relic she is now faced with solving the illegal fracking problem near her grandfathers land, the dodgy salesman running the operation and a new even more confusing murder which seems to involve her high school love. Stuck between two worlds Mud is torn between helping her people and preserving their culture as well as making sure her business is still standing when she gets back.

I honestly felt like as well as being fully drawn into the story, it was also educational and gave a fresh and sincere perspective
