Why read it?
1 author picked Hearts of the Missing as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Carol Potenza and I actually went to high school together, though we didn’t know each other back then.
When I saw that a classmate was also writing a tribal murder mystery, I had to read it. Wow, it was dark too! I totally got into the main character: this time, a female Tribal Police Officer. It was a nice change.
I also liked this tribe. I grew up with the Lakota peoples, so reading other tribal books with Navajo, Cheyenne, and this book involving the Pueblo gave me a good education on the differences between tribes and regions.
From Michael's list on books for the tribal and murder mystery fan.
