About this listen
Now, Curtis's photographs are on display at the museum of St. Francis Mission on the reservation, and history seems doomed to repeat itself. A descendant of the tribal chief who appeared in Curtis's pictures has been shot to death, and the museum's curator has disappeared. The two incidents may be linked to the near century-old murder. Soon, Arapaho attorney Vicky Holden and Father John O'Malley will discover an even more disturbing connection to present-day events.

Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

Story
At Annie Laurance's Death on Demand bookstore on Broward's Rock Island, South Carolina, murder suddenly isn't confined to the well-stocked shelves. Author Elliot Morgan's abrupt demise during a weekly gathering of famous mystery writers called the Sunday Night Regulars is proof positive that a bloody sword is sometimes mightier than a brilliant pen. With Annie in the unenviable position of primary police suspect, the pretty young mystery maven and her wealthy paramour, Max Darling, embark on an investigation into a classic locked-room mystery with high stakes.

Mary DiNunzio has been slaving away for the past eight years trying to make partner in her cutthroat Philadelphia law firm. She's too busy to worry about the crank phone calls she's been getting - until they fall into a sinister pattern. The phone rings as soon as she gets to work, then as soon as she gets home. Mary can't shake the sensation that someone is watching her, following her every move. The shadowboxing turns deadly when her worst fears are realized, and she has to fight for something a lot more important than partnership: her life.

Joe Pickett is the new game warden in Twelve Sleep, Wyoming, a town where nearly everyone hunts and the game warden—especially one like Joe who won't take bribes or look the other way—is far from popular. When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

Superb
I really love these novels. I am currently addicted to these stories of Father John, Vicki Holden and the Arapaho people. The narrator is perfect.

Mystery with historical interest
This is a book in the Father John O'Malley series, which takes place on the Arapaho reservation. He is the Irish priest at St. Francis Mission, and he has a great love for the people he has come to know and feel a part of--and they love and trust him in return.
In this book, murder is afoot--both in the present and in the past. They are linked through some photographs that were taken by a famous photographer at the turn of the twentieth century, as he sought to depict the Native American lifestyle, even though it had meant he had to stage the pictures rather than find them in a natural manner. This was the opportunity for a shocking murder to occur--which has repercussions through the generations, and provides a link to the crimes occurring now.
Ftr. O'Malley and his lawyer friend Vicky Holden (or if he were not a priest, she would be more than a friend) have worked together on other cases, so it is natural that they come together again for another really good story, filled with interesting lore about the Arapaho people, and well-drawn characters.
The story itself is good, and a word about the narration. I think that for the most part she is excellent. But in places, it sounds as though she is trying so hard to have crisp, clear diction, she overdoes it a bit--you can hear the final "t" sounded on too many words. However, I'd like to give her a "wavy hand" on this (good and bad mixed) since in other respects, she has an uncommon ability to create very good voices, with unusually good inflections, voices tones, and little things--like her including a throat clearing, laugh, indrawn breath, etc--that give a more authentic sense to characters' dialogue. This is the third I've read in the series, and find them very good.

A good book, but...
Would you listen to Wife of Moon again? Why?
Margaret Coel's Arapaho Indian Mysteries are great. I love the stories of Indian culture and the plots are well done. These would all receive five stars except for the reader. Her midwestern accent is a bit over the top and somewhat distracting. Words ending in

Stunning Historical and Fictional Tale
Wow! Author Margaret Coel does it again with Wife of Moon, combining a fictional story with an historical account involving famous Indian photographer, Edward Curtis (1868-1952). The book opens in the year 1907 with the photographer instructing the tribe to get into position for the staged battle which he is about to photograph. The Indian warriors have their weapons loaded with blanks and await Curtis’ command. The beautiful Indian mother, Bashful Woman (married to a white man) and her young child are in a tent. The daughter of Chief Sharp Nose, Bashful Woman is married to Carston Evans, a white man who asked the chief for her hand in marriage. Long loved by all the young warriors, but especially by Jesse, who had come to St. Francis Mission School and learned to speak English . . . befriending the young Indian maiden. Chosen to assist the photographer because of his ability to speak the white man’s language, Jesse is poised to hand the heavy glass plates to the photographer as he needs them. The photographer gives the signal for the warriors to begin the fake battle, and begins taking the photographs . . . but the screams are all too real. Continually handing Curtis the glass plates as instructed, Jesse is filled with fear and apprehension. The gunshots sound loud, the horse’s hooves beat hard upon the earth . . . and when all of the ammo is spent and Curtis has finished capturing the scenes, the wails and moans of the tribe can still be heard. Bashful Woman lies in a pool of blood in her teepee. Carston Evans testifies that he witnessed the Indian Warrior, Thunder kill his wife. And that is how the tale has been passed down. In the current day, Father O’Malley is busy at St. Francis Mission with a new curator for the Arapaho Museum and an exhibit of the old photographs that Edward Curtis took back in 1907. Its drawing lots of visitors from far and wide. Vicky Holden has been called to represent an old school friend who is a suspect in the murder of his wife . . . a descendant of Chief Sharp Nose. With news flying on the moccasin telegraph, its hard to know for sure what’s going on. But its surely not boring. And its never what it looks like on the surface. This book in the series is full of the tribal culture, which I love, and rich in the wisdom of the grandfathers and grandmothers of the Arapaho tribe. Don’t miss it!

Another murder-by-narrator
The premise and the plot are interesting and engaging. The writer, however, must have attended one of those awful workshops where they proselytize "show not tell" - about the most misused advice there is - with the predictable result that her characters pluck, swivel, gulp, freeze, like they all have nerve disorders, and spend most of their time not looking at each other. There are also some very elementary errors, like grabbing a menu off a podium. And a few holes in the story, like: If you were desperately investigating a particular person's recent activities, and if you found that this person had intensely scrutinized an old photograph, even to the point of getting a magnifying glass for it, and then got all excited and offered a huge amount of money to have it ... would you give the equivalent of "hmm. thanks. bye" and then leave without looking at it?
AUDIO: Oh, spare us from this reader! She's a very poor actress, and poor with voices and accents, overacts unbearably, especially during sensitive moments. She often has no sense of the characters' personalities, or of the point of what's being said, and is often gratingly shrill. Sometimes so awful I was embarrassed for her, as when one of the Arapaho elders inexplicably develops a thick Irish accent. Worst of all, she acts out everything like "sighed," "drew her breath in," "took a gulp of air," "small laugh," "big guffaw," "choking laugh," "stutter," -- aack! She did everything short of belch and break wind. I'd like to read more from this author, but don't know if I can stand listening to this reader again.
