I love the unique voice Bowen created for Du Pre. Interesting characters, great atmosphere, interesting bits of history woven into the story. Lots of vague supernatural here. The solution to the murders seems to lie solely with Du Pre; interpreting signs and visions from the shaman Benetsee; even the D.C. detective assigned to the case keeps asking what Benetsee has seen lately. And it has a plot device I'm starting to dislike, where the law can't pin anything on the obvious murderer so someone needs to take justice into their own hands. Eh. But the characters make up for it - Du Pre; especially, his daughter Maria, Madeleine, Bart, and Benetsee. I am (re)reading this series in order; I never read the last two and I'm looking forward to them.
