Jacques Rouleau and his team have a new case to investigate when Adele Delaney and her daughter Violet go missing. Some of the team suspect the husband Ivo, but is the case that straightforward. Personal problems of Stonechild, and Rouleau make life more difficult
An entertaining well-written mystery, with in the main its likeable characters

I'm gobbling these down. Contemporary Canadian police procedurals. Maybe the plots are repetitive, but the characters are great. Kala Stonechild is coping with trauma, but she is a fierce warrior and I think she'll make it through.
I'll keep reading - have to take a break because the ebook app from my library allows so few checkouts a month.

Another really good entry in the Kala Stonechild mystery series. I really like the writing in these books -- they're well plotted and the main characters have some depth. My only quibble with this one is that it seemed to abandon the subplot concerning the main character in the sense that we build up to the climax, then we're past it. I would have liked more development there. Perhaps it is picked up again in the next book, but it left me dissatisfied. On the whole, though, this is an engrossing mystery. I recommend the series.
