Silent Are the Dead by D. M. Rowell
5.0
This is the second book, which appears to start where the first ended. There is enough background information to understand what is happening.
Mae "Mud" Sawpole is a Kiowa woman who has left the tribe to start a business in Silicon Valley. Mud returns to Oklahoma at the behest of her grandfather.
Mud and her cousin, Denny, must work together to solve the mystery of the dead white man, who is stealing precious artifacts, and who is allowing fracking on tribal land.
This story blends together the rich history of the Kiowa people with a fast-paced thriller. I enjoyed reading this and understanding more of the Kiowa culture. I also appreciated the glossary for the definitions of the words used from the Kiowa language. Just a reminder to myself (and all) -- just because it is different doesn't make it bad.
Thank you, Crooked Lane Books and Netgalley, for the opportunity to read the eARC of Silent are the Dead.
