Jonsey speaks to the unbearable anguish of generations of Native American tribes indigenous to the Americas,who lost their land, their way of life, their culture, their language, their children, and their families to the imperialism, persecution, and genocide perpetuated by the invading White Europeans.

This book is much more than a murder mystery.

This series set in 1970s rural Minnesota just goes from strength to strength. Described as "gritty Native American noir" by Oscar Hokeah.

I am already looking forward to the next one!

I‘m a big fan of Marcie Rendon and Cash Blackbear is a favorite protagonist. Cash is a hard but caring person and oh so smart and intuitive. I can‘t wait until she finishes college and becomes Wheaton‘s full fledged deputy. 😉

Another stellar installment in the Cash Blackbear mystery series. I love Cash, so much, and in this novel we see her vulnerability and emerging maturity. She‘s still “dangerous”, as one character states, and she probably always will be, but her intuition is still right on and her “visions” serve her well. Murder, foster care, betrayal, racism, family, and so much more. Please, I‘d like another. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
