This is an interesting book in that we know who the killer is but we're not sure how it will all come together in the end. The story takes place in the late 1970s/early 1980s and it's a little difficult to remember that, what with living in today's society of cell phones and instant access to everything. Still, I enjoyed reading about the Indian tribes of the area, their stories, and I especially loved the descriptions of the Tucson and Phoenix areas, having visited there a few times on vacation and falling in love with the desert. A good book overall, even if I wanted to slap the main character (Diana Ladd) because of being so stupid sometimes.
