The Bone Seeker: An Edie Kiglatuk Mystery (Edie Kiglatuk Mysteries) by M. J. McGrath
The third in McGrath’s series of mysteries featuring Edie Kiglatuk and Derek Pallister. Edie is the primary protagonist. They both live in the Canadian Arctic. She is a private citizen who often works as a teacher or guide. He is a regional policeman and in this story she is hired as his deputy. In the background is the independence and resourcefulness of the local peoples and the disregard for their rights by the federal, Canadian authorities. This tale, as her others, has an interesting telling but it ends a little too neatly. Of course, all the bad people are punished or die and some good people die along the way, but it comes together at the end rather quickly with right and truth winning out over more powerful forces. I’ve read three of McGrath’s books and do look forward to reading another.
