Pinter P.I. #1
Interesting, informative, and immersive ~ Great historical fiction that drew me in and made me care!
What I liked:
* Molly: recently lost her mother, moved in with her distant father, artist, bright, enjoys puzzles, inquisitive, fourteen, unsure of her future, has great potential, would like to get to know her better
* James Pinter: truck driver , owns his own big rig, ex-military CID officer, stationed in Vietnam and Germany, suddenly received guardianship of his daughter Molly and is learning to be a parent, intelligent, capable, ready for a job change, liked him and eager to see him again
* Wayne: Chief of police on a reservation, educated, wise, professional, grandfather was a code talker in WWII, married to Barbara, strong leadership abilities, friendly, good man
* Kay: high school teacher on the reservation, divorced, carrying secrets and guilt over her sister’s death, a bit haunted, attracted to James
* The plot, pacing, setting, and writing
* Learning about the uranium mining waste dam burst in 1979
* That it reminded me of the era of the Vietnam war and brought back memories of a high school project that sent letters with cookies to servicemen
* The family ties on the reservation
* Watching James and Molly get to know one another and grow closer as parent and child
* The police procedural aspects and that the murderer was found by the end of the book
* Knowing that there is another book to look forward to in the series
What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like
* The bigotry, waste of a good woman’s life, the corrupt big businesses practices
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Yes
