I really loved this book! It was a bit slow to start, but I was captivated throughout. Full disclosure: the setting is near my hometown and also where I went to university during the same time period of the novel. I loved all the mentions of places and buildings around town. That aside this is a good mystery that I only partly solved, and I loved all the culture woven into the story. I may listen to the audio so I can hear the correct pronunciation of all the Annishinaabe language scattered throughout the book.

I was thrilled when I heard about this #ownvoices novel, and I'm thrilled it lived up to expectations. I'm so happy for Boulley's success and hope she has more to come. Apparently, the Obama's production company is developing this into a Netflix series, and I hope they film in the Sault since the location is an integral piece of the story, and they'd better use Indigenous actors.
