Eye of the Wolf by Margaret Coel

Another entry for the "eh" shelf. While there's nothing exactly wrong with this very traditional mystery wherein the priest at a Native American reservation in the midwest solves a murder with a local native american lawyer, there was nothing especially astounding about it either.
We're kind of dropped into the middle of the story which I never mind but is pretty problematic for the first book in a series. We're told an awful lot about the town we're in, the people who live there, and the plight of Native Americans in modern America but we're never really shown a thing.
Much is made over a very blah attraction between the priest and the lawyer and the cops are on the trail of a violently psychotic local tough who the lawyer is convinced didn't do it as was I since the murderer is incredibly obviously introduced on like page 10.
I confess I'm a little baffled by the popularity of this series or this author. This is a very correctly plotted cookie cutter mystery with no passion, no substance and thusly no interest at all for me.
