Couldn't put it down!
I have been reading this series for a number of years and love every book in the Wind River Reservation series. The main characters, Arapaho attorney Vicky Holden, and Wind River Mission Father John O'Malley, are totally believable, each with their strengths and weaknesses that make you love them. The "elephant in the room" - their attraction to each other- adds a romantic tension to the stories. In The Silent Spirit, Vicky and Father John work different ends of a case trying to solve the murder of Kiki Wallowingbull, a young Arapaho with a criminal record for dealing drugs who was trying to straighten out his life. The story centers around the disappearance of Kiki's great-grandfather, Charlie, who went to Hollywood to be in the movies. Kiki goes to Holywood to try to find out what really happened to his great-grandfather back in 1923 as a gift to his grandfather. Soon after his return from California, Kiki is murdered. In a series of riveting twists and turns, Father John and Vicky eventually come together to solve a tragedy that spans several generations. If you like great stories with lots of action and applied intelligence, read this book!

Another fascinating read from the Queen of Native American mystery writers!
Margaret Coel has done it yet again. She has taken a forgotten point in Native American history and created a fascinating mystery novel.

A Great Series
I have read the entire Wind River series and enjoy the characters, the writing style, and especially the Native American Culture. Anyone who enjoys Tony Hillerman or JA Jance, would really enjoy Margaret Coel. Very entertaining and easy reading.

The Silent Spirit
The plot involves an old silent movie and the Indians who played Hollywood's idea of how Indians lived. The mission Priest and the lady Arapaho lawyer are trying to solve the murders and disappearances the seem to stem from the Indians who appeared in the movie and the one who never returned.

An enjoyable mystery
On the Wind River reservation, Kiki Wallowingbull comes home after serving two years on a charge of selling drugs. Father John O'Malley, who just returned from Rome after a six month stint there is now the interim pastor of St. Francis Mission located on the reservation. He and Kiki meet and the ex-convict tells the priest he is clean and determined to find out what happened to his great-grandfather Charlie who vanished in 1923 while in Hollywood doing a shoot to promote a movie, The Covered Wagon, in which he had a part.
When Kiki returns from Hollywood, he tells Father John that the answer to the disappearance is here on the reservation. Soon afterward, Kiki is found dead. Lawyer Vicky Holden hears from a man who insists he killed him in self-defence, but though they soon talk in person she never sees his face. The police arrest a drug dealer, but Vicky knows the man is innocent of this crime; she must find the culprit to insure justice is served even though the arrested prime suspect is a career criminal.
The story is told in two parts, the present and 1923 when the Arapahos and the Shoshones make the movie. In the present, Kiki dies trying to learn what really happened to his ancestor. Readers will enjoy trying to find out what the link between the two deaths are besides blood; and want to do it before Father John and Vicky solve it. Margaret Coel provides an enjoyable mystery that is highlighted by the Arapahos eight decades ago and now.
