Suspenseful! Dark!

Mask of the Deer Woman by Laurie L. Dove      

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Carrie Starr  has taken the job as a tribal Marshall with Bureau of Indian Affairs for the Saliquaw Nation near Dexter Springs as a way to transition back to the force.

She’d been a detective in Chicago until her daughter had died from an overdose. 

Carrie had tracked the supplier of the drugs, the perpetrator, down and left him with bullets in his back. Nothing proved she’d been there.

Now she’s at a place her father had come from.

Her brief was to look at the women who’d gone missing. So many!

Currently she’s investigating the disappearance of Chenoa Cloud. Is she missing or somewhere on the rez?

Her investigations will lead her into strange areas of tribal spirituality, murder, embezzlement, and a host of other challenges.

So many problems, so many blank spaces, and when the hunter becomes the hunted things become very tight.
