This super intense mystery kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time I read it. Told in multiple perspectives, it is exceptionally well-paced. Everyone has something to hide, which is slowly revealed. Cobell does a fabulous job of crafting an excellent mystery and bringing much needed attention to the issues surrounding the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. Highly recommended for grades 9 & up.
