I am a fan of Peter Bowen's Montana Mysteries. Protagonist Gabriel du Pre, his friends and family, and the other characters that make up his world, almost feel like some of those online friends that you can chat with but have never seen face to face and probably never will. Not that du Pre would actually ever bother to connect to the Internet, or even attempt to use a computer.
This novel, the 8th in the series, has du Pre acting as a technical advisor on a movie about Lewis and Clark and checking out what happened to some outsiders who were killed in the area as a favor to the FBI.
Like most of the other books I've read in this series to date, the author manages to present a mystery to me, make me think I've figured it out, then pull the rug out from under me. THEN toss a bone that maybe I was right all along or that the reason I went off on that red herring was because I didn't know one important fact only to pull the rug out all over again.
If you have not read any of the books in this series what is keeping you???
RATING: 5 stars. I finished the book 6 weeks ago and the plot, action, and characters still exist vividly in my mind.
