Firekeeper's Daughter

The author of this book is Native American, and it takes place on and near a reservation in northern Michigan. The reservation has been plagued with rising drug use and deaths, and our protagonist gets thrown into the middle of figuring out who is responsible for all the harm that is affecting her community. The writing is very suspenseful, and there were lots of fun twists and turns along the way.

The absolute best part about this book is the immersion on modern Native American culture. There is so much beauty and also acknowledgement of pain and suffering. My only minor quibble is that this book is YA and I could feel that at points (a few of the plot twists were pretty obvious, and some of the scientific/forensic concepts were over-explained). All in all, though, a good read!
