I am a fan of Peter Bowen's Montana Mysteries, with (now retired) brand inspector and Metis musician Gabriel du Pre and his community. Du Pre is a simple man in the best sense of the word â the best and quickest way to get to the heart of a situation (or of a person) is to look past the extraneous stuff and concentrate on the basics.
In Ash Child, du Pre must deal with the driest weather conditions that his community has faced in 100 years, and with the inevitable wildfires that come with it. He must also deal with some unexplained deaths, including an elderly woman on the edges of the community and of a pair of high school sweethearts who will never know if their relationship would last past graduation. Who is killing these people â is it an outsider, or a local, or is it the result of multiple murders for multiple causes? And just how IS the government's efforts to fight the wildfires going, and will it interfere with the murder investigation?
Not my favorite book in the series to date â but close. Highly recommended.
RATING: 5 stars.
