pickAn interesting novel which revolves around a Navajo family of photographers. Rita Todacheene is a forensic photographer for Albuquerque police force. She has the “gift/curse” of seeing and talking with ghosts. Rita has had these visions and visits beginning when she was a child. Currently, Rita is being asked to help the ghosts who have been murdered by some corrupt police officers.

A book with a #OneWordTitle from my TBR
The publishers blurb sounds intriguing:
“This blood-chilling debut set in New Mexico‘s Navajo Nation is equal parts gripping crime thriller, supernatural horror, and poignant portrayal of coming of age on the reservation.”
My nonfiction for the month.
My pick for March is Trail of Lightning #12booksog2023 @Andrew65 This is the first time I have read this author.
pick132/150 This straddled the line between a low pick and so-so, but the conclusion was exciting enough to push it into a pick. I'm not really fond of stories with heavy religious overtones, so that took away some of my enjoyment of the scientific aspects of the story. The Christian preacher and evangelist seemed more caricatures than real characters.

pickDebut novel and a definite pick. The MC is Rita Todacheene, a young forensic photographer in Albuquerque. Rita is talented and through her lens captures details that help solve cases. Since childhood she has seen spirits, most are harmless, but some insist she help them. A particularly gruesome death and unhappy spirit keep Rita from sleep and drive her headlong into danger. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of five.
pickHF-based on the story of how the US government ( the Long-Knives) forced the sheep herding Navajos from their land, Canyon de Chelly, by burning their homes and their crops. Told from the POV of a young girl named Bright Morning.
