Murder on the Red River di Marcie R. Rendon
Well intentioned but maudlin and simplistic
A really good series of mysteries by Marcie E Rendon. Sinister Graves has a creepy vibe. The story moves at a good pace. The characters are outstanding.
This is not my favorite mystery plotline, but I still love this series. Very invested in Cash.
I found this series debut to be less of a mystery than an exploration of Cash - an Ojibwe woman in the 1970s - and her experience of the racial tensions shaping her social landscape. Rendon wove these into every interaction so naturally; each character rang true. Wheaton’s heartfelt but hands-off brand of love, the fierce Day Dodge children taking care of each other, Cash’s world-worn, brittle exterior covering a soft, hurt teenager- you know these people, you feel them. Packaged in a writing style as gritty and brutalist as the story itself (a style which also recalls the tough-as-nails-ness of Gunsmoke or Dragnet narration), I would recommend this book to readers looking for a down-to-earth mystery tackling themes much larger than any one murder.
I wouldn't say I enjoyed this book, but I am glad I read it. The ending was compelling. 3/5 stars.
Trigger warnings: racism, hate crimes, alcoholism, murder, and foster abuse… (altro)
