"Blood Memory is a book that our Sisters-in-Crime Group chose as their book to read for the month of September. I picked up the book and just could not put it down. Had to keep reading until I finished it. I found the book to be well written and intriguing. I found myself looking over my shoulder every now and then and jumping when I heard a noise. Began to wonder if the assasin was in my house. The story centers around a Journalist who is writing about the Arapaho and Cheyenne massacres in Colorado. Will they kill her before she is able to expose the bad guy? I am not telling...read the book. It is well worth the read." — Mary (5 out of 5 stars)

" This introduces a new character - a Denver journalist, who has to figure out why somebody is trying to kill her. "
" A compelling mystery with insights into the Navajo culture. This is the latest in the Wind River Reservation Mysteries. A great series! "
" 1st in new series by Coel; Denver investigative reporter, Catherine McLeod, learns more about her heritage while delving into the impact of the Sand Creek massacre on the plans for a new Arapahoe-Cheyenne casino "
" Meh. Reporter is shot at / stalked by serial assassin while she uncovers scandal involving Arapaho/Cheyenne lands and a possible casino. "
" This book is a fictional account of a real controversy in Denver a couple of years ago and involves a project I helped stop for a client. It's interesting to read the author's observations and (seriously) dramatized version of events with which I had first hand experience. "
" A fast paced mystery with a likable heroine. With a controversial topic (casino) and a mix of Indian history, this story keeps you turning the pages. "
" A very good and easy reading that keeps you involved to the end. Coel at her best. "
" This was a fun read especially because it takes place in the Denver metro area! It describes many local places and roads which help us natives get a better visual of things! The ending was good, but slightly abrupt! A fun, easy to read mystery! "
" Coel introduces a new character and the scene is Denver. Vicki makes a cameo appearance and the story follows the tribe's claim to a large piece of land near the airport on which a casino may be built. The intrigue is about who is behind the scheme and is attempting to kill our new heroine. "
" Pretty good crime novel with a little Native American lore thrown in. A journalist is being stalked by a serial killer for hire because of something she is writing. "
" This author's books, with Native American characters, are always excellent. "
" Suspenseful but something missing. Certainly cannot compare with Tony Hillerman's masterful mysteries. Last one I read by Coel only got 2 stars from me. "
" I would say a good 3.5. A quick read, good story, keeps your turning pages to find out what happens next, but predictable and not a "deep" read... quick fun mystery. "
" Even though I like reading books that take place around Denver I just could not get through this one. Very slow and repetitive. "
" really interesting and well-done twists and turns in the mystery, but sorry to see the gal becoming an alcoholic in the midst of her distress. "
" Native Denverite! Caught my attention enough to veer to a new character from this author. I really enjoy her books. "
" Set in Denver and is not a story of the Reservation in Wyoming. "
" I enjoyed this as much and even more than some of the Wind River mysteries. I found Catherine McLeod a very believeable and sympathetic character. I found a number of the ideas interesting - having your identity stripped away... I also did not know about the Sand Creek Massacre. "
" mystery much like tony hillerman's with a female viewpoint "
" Enjoyable reading as Catherine McLeod delves into the history of the Sand Creek Massacre and land deals/frauds in the following century up to the present time. Colorful characters and interesting background info to go along with a good story. "
" New character; should be a good addition, but I miss Father John and Vicky Holden although Vicky makes a small appearence. "
" I enjoy learning something new, i.e. regional history, occupations, but this one was too heavy on history. All the details took away from the excitement of "who done it." I won't be reading anymore novels by this author. "
" Good murder mystery set in and around Denver. Had never read anything by this author, but will certainly consider others by her. "
" Margaret Coel has another winner. This one takes place in Denver and involves an investigative reporter. Arapaho history takes center stage, specifically the Sand Creek Massacre. It seems that Coel is starting a new series, but I have to hope that Father John and Vicki are going to be back as well. "
" I didn't like this book as well as her series ones. "
" The plot had many twists. It was a great read! I read longer than I should have at night just getting to a spot where the character got through a dangerous situation. "
" This was the first book by Coel that I had to struggle to finish. "
" I really liked this as a mystery. "
