Daughter of the Morning Star

I look forward to my yearly jaunt through Absaroka County. It's always nice to Walt, Henry, Vic, and whoever else might show up in one of Craig's books.

With this one, he uses his considerable platform to call attention to missing indigenous women problem in North America, and he manages to weave a delightful basketball story into it. All this with the standard banter between Walt and Henry and the usual hijinx from Dog.

This is definitely one of the better books of the series. The mysticism of the book is not overpowering, but it's enough to make you wonder about reality and get some creeping shivers up the spine. The police work, the beating the trail for leads, is on display, and while the mystery doesn't take a ton of brain power to unravel, that's not the point of this book.

Daughter of the Morning Star definitely sets up the next book as being more of a direct sequel, making this feel like the first of a two-parter, but I'll get the next book the day it releases. I haven't missed one, yet.
