The Case of Windy Lake by Michael Hutchinson

4.0

Wait, this is book 1? Well, ok -- so it does drop you in the middle of things, and it reads like a sequel rather than a first book. However, it's a great story, the community on the Reserve is close-knit and interesting to read about. The Muskrats are a great crew and I love that they all have different talents. Really enjoyed that half the story was about their older cousin staging a protest and attempting to become a water protector, even if the resolution was muddy. The push and pull between needing jobs and protecting the environment is always going to be muddy. Very Canadian/First Nations specific.
