You'll need a strong stomach to get through the first few pages of this one. After that it mostly reminded me of the movie Sixth Sense: "I see dead people". I did like the dichotomy between Rita's Navajo heritage and her affinity for ghosts. The continual shifts between past and present were easy enough to follow. But Rita's past seemed to be the focus of the book, not Erma's murder or any of the other ghosts that torment her. I saw this novel was nominated for a lot of awards; it's certainly got atmosphere, but it won't make my year's top ten.
