yapha 's review for:

Looking for Smoke by K.A. Cobell
5.0
emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

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.
