I should have enjoyed this more.

A woman is murdered and the sheriff has a suspect... the guy that wrote the book from which the murder scene has been taken. Okay, strong lead, I guess.

A story that involves a love story -- which also involves a fictional American Indian tribe/reservation. Mkay, again, I should really like this.

But I didn't like it... there was way too much back/forth between timelines, the crime is a load of garbage (I mean c'mon really... really... if you get to the ending you'll be a little disappointed as well), I couldn't really enjoy the characters. It just never meshed well with me, even though it was right up my alley from the description and cover. Sometimes BOTM lets me down and this was one of those times.
