"The Lost Bird is a terrific mystery and a sad story of the deaths of at least 15 Arapaho newborns on the Wind River Reservation in 1964. I have read a number of Coel's other mysteries and this is one of my favorites, though a very sad story. I hesitate to say more about the storyline which the next readers should discover themselves."

— Roberta (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “A moving story that grips the reader from its very first line. Coel intertwines her two major storylines skillfully and adds several subplots that hold the reader riveted.”

    " I think this was the best Margaret Coel I've read so far. Same characters (Vicky the lawyer, John the priest) but an intriguing mystery about a murdered priest, hostile race relations, environmental degradation and a possibly conspiracy in black market baby-trafficking/adoptions decades before.
