The Bottom Line or Tweet
Average story raised up by the initial clients
.
Plot or Premise
Jane is asked by the elders of her tribe to find an innocent man charged with murder, and to help him until things are cleared up.
.
What I Liked
The introduction of the elders was a great development, and showed that Jane's work has not gone unnoticed by the clans. They not only are aware of it, they approve and ask her to put her skills to use with another member, a childhood friend of Jane's.
.
What I Didn't Like
The secondary character's didn't work that well for me…a woman whose story reads like a bad rape fantasy, a cop who happens to be an expert tracker and who happens to follow her despite having no idea who she is or any evidence he sees her, and some crooks who are okay, but not compelling.
.

You know those books that you read slowly on purpose so they won't end too soon? Well, this series is like that for me. I love Jane Whitefield SO MUCH. I desperately wish she were real, and someone I could talk to. In this volume, she's asked by the elders of her tribal family to help out a childhood friend who is being sought for the murder of a man after they fought at a bar. It's a creepy book, with creepy people, the Mob gets mixed up in things,
Spoiler
and Jane ends up rescuing not one friend but three individuals who are, for a change of pace, able to go back home and pick up their lives.imbookingit's review against another edition

4.5 stars. This might be my favorite Jane Whitefield book. The thriller aspect is good, but the look at Jane's thoughts is even better. Her introspection on her identity as a Seneca Indian, of the meaning of the work she does helping others, of where her responsibility lies...

A reluctant 3 stars. I have never read any of the other books in this series, so maybe that's part of my luke-warm feeling about it.
The good: It is fast-paced and I loved hearing about Seneca culture.
The bad: So much of it is totally unbelievable and the characters are all a bit flat.

You can't go wrong with Perry's Jane Whitefield series. The main character is complex and likable and her adventures keep you engaged. Perry is very good at building and maintaining momentum, which makes his books hard to put down. This one was definitely a binge-read.

Jane Whitefield book 8
It's a job for some elders protecting an old friend this time. Much more personal, hopefully not a permanent change. The bad guys are just as sneaky and surprising, to me, but Jane kicks ass all the way through to the surprise of her childhood pal.

For years, Jane Whitefield has been taking people out of their lives, people who need to go away from where they are currently. This time, however, it is personal. The clan mothers of all eight Seneca clan houses have come to her and offered her, ote-ko-a, a string of beads that acts as a contract. They want her to find and protect Jimmy Sanders. He has been falsely accused of murder in Ohio and has gone to ground somewhere. As Jane investigates, things become more and more complicated. An intricate and brilliantly plotted book, excellent, as always.

Enjoyed the fast pace and believable plot. Great to have a strong female protagonist.
