This novel is rather average; the characters seem one-dimensional and bland. I thought Meg McLean, the new head librarian, acted older than 40-something. Rob Neill, a sheriff's investigator, was a very bland figure who moved the action along.

Ten years earlier, in his first case, Rob had not caught the thieves (or recovered the items) of some sacred objects of the Klalo tribe (from the Columbia River Gorge). Now, when the new librarian moves into the house she has bought, she finds human remains in the garage. While Rob is trying to find the murderer of this victim, two more people die.

I didn't buy why Rob deputized Meg. This just wasn't all that interesting, although it could have been. I'm sure stealing Indian holy ground artifacts are a serious problem in certain regions of the US but the author kept the whole thing sounding blah.
