The second story in the Wind River series is as well written as the first book. I liked the mystery and the interaction of the characters. This was an enjoyable read due to the setting and characters. I will continue to read in this series. ( )

I like this series. Father O'Malley finds a dead body in the middle of a snow storm after his truck breaks down, but the body is gone by the time he is able to report it. The Arapahoe believe that a ghost will cause trouble until the body is properly buried. Vickie Holden's daughter returns to the reservation addicted to drugs. It turns out that the events are related.

3.5 stars. A solid mystery with an interesting setting. ( )

Father John O'Malley returns to solve another murder near the Arapaho Indian reservation in Wyoming. O'Malley was sure he had seen a body in the snow one frigid night. But when he returned with the authorities, the corpse had vanished--leaving only suspicion and doubt behind. Available in book format.

In this second mystery set on the Wind River reservation in Wyoming, Father John O'Malley happens upon a body when his Toyota breaks down. He is nearly run over by a person who was obviously not from the area but who reconsiders and gives him a lift. When the sheriff and Father John return to the scene, the body is gone. The only thing of which they are certain is that the body is Arapaho because of a necklace found at the scene. In the meantime the attorney Vicky Holden is dealing with a daughter mixed up with a guy she believes is supplying her. In the midst of it all, news is received that the mission will be closing. Lots of story lines all run together to make this an interesting installment. Certain aspects are dated. For example, cell phones would change the plot if written today. Stephanie Brush does a great job reading it on the audio version.
