Beautifully written, powerful, super intense book. There was one scene I found horribly difficult to read and I wish it hadn't been as graphic as it was, but besides that this book is wonderful and interesting and challenging.

Well done, interesting mystery with a satisfying conclusion. It was fast-paced and easy to read with writing that drew me in. I don't give if 5 stars because of the continuous use of the word "Indian" associated with stereotypes/acting as though Indiginous folks are just characters in a horrible poem. There aren't any "Indian" characters, so no overt racism toward anyone in the story, but there are these continuous references that are racist. There is also the use of the antiquated, terrible expression "the n****r in a woodpile" used twice.
