Reviews for Blood Memory

[Cynthia Betz · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Kept me involved all the way through. Excellent narration and story line.

[jamespurcell · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Too much whining, introspection and a clueless reporter who drinks too much. Some good Native American history wasted.

[markpsadler · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The author digs up a dry and dusty Indian land for sale in exchange for a casino story that has a protagonist that is to much of a weepy, wine-soaked victim to liked and finishes of with an ending we all saw coming a mileaway. Shame, as it actually had merit as a story but I wasn't made to care about any of the characters.

Blood Memory is a tremendously good book by Margaret Coel. This is a Catherine McLeod mystery. Catherine is a reporter for a major newspaper in Denver. The story centers on the fact that someone is trying to kill her before she can reveal the true facts on a planned casino. This is a well-crafted story that keeps the reader devouring each page. I highly recommend this book.

I am a long-time fan of the Windy River Reservation mystery series, and I was a bit disappointed when I got this book to see that it's about a different heroine. But Coel can write, and she sprinkles such fascinating native and Arapaho history in her books, so I decided to read it. I enjoyed the book, but it didn't grip me like Father John. Catherine McLeod, I think, will grow into an interesting heroine, but I missed the heart-stopping suspense of Coel's well-known series. I missed the practicalness of Father John. Catherine is not that, not by a long shot. She's very impulsive, and does things without much thought. That is a bit off-putting when she is supposedly running for her life as she is in this book. Not sure yet whether I will read more of her or not, but I can assure you that I will devour the next Father John mystery that comes out.
