Interesting murder mystery combining divination, the power of prayer, and Native American spirituality in the abduction and planned sacrificial murders of 2 young children. Multiple murders occur as we watch the countdown to the children's sacrifice in the frightening swamps filled with snakes and gators.
Their teacher calls on her sister from out of state to come and help locate the children with her special skill, but they must keep her ability secret to protect her privacy.
A granny who lives with the sister 'cause she is married to her grandson, lends the story some much needed levity--- she is quite a character!
Unfortunately, the violent string of behavior by the murderer could give the reader a false understanding of Native American spirituality and this brought the story down in my star rating.
