Another hit from Angeline Boulley, this novel combines mystery with Ojibwe culture in a way that made for an engrossing story. I’m not much of a mystery reader, so I didn’t mind that the thriller aspects of the book don’t come into the story until about halfway through. I loved the use of indigenous language throughout and the way the story highlights the issue of repatriation in a way that makes total sense with the plot and characters.
