A review by jcbmathcat
Eye of the Wolf by Margaret Coel

4.0

Members of our mystery book club each read a book in Margaret Coel's Wind River Reservation series. If this book is any indication, they can be read as stand-alones; however, references were made to past events that may be better understood if the books are read in order.

Father O'Malley receives an answering machine message that indicates the presence of bodies at the site of the Bates Battle of 1874 when Shoshone warriors led Captain Bates' cavalry to Arapaho grounds. The Arapahos were massacred and the Arapaho nation was finished. Father O'Malley finds the bodies of three Shoshone college students, posed to mimic bodies of Arapaho killed in the battle.

Meanwhile, attorney Vicky Holden represents Frankie Montana, an Arapaho who had been involved in an altercation with the three dead Shoshone men.

Someone is trying to start a war between the Arapaho and Shoshone.

I will definitely read more of Margaret Coel's Wind River Reservation books!

****Spoiler****

I did figure out the who and why by the time I reached the end of page 81.
