"This is one of the very few series I can recommend to anyone without hesitation. This book is less intense than earlier books in the series, but pleasantly so. The Father John/Vicky relationship is more settled, although I do still wish that the Vicky character had some shred of a sense of humor. (The relationship between John and Walks On remains the most unflappable and dependable.) The time frame shifts comfortably between the 1920s and the present; the plot twist revelations at the end work well."

“Skillfully weaves the story of the murders of two men of the same family—one in the 1920s, the other in the present—into a complicated mystery of rites, rituals, tradition, and family.”
— RT Book Reviews" Still annoys me when Vicky goes haring off into danger. At least she realizes that's what she's doing, so I don't have to scream at her while reading. The connection to film history is interesting and well done. Won't hesitate to read the next one. "
— Helen, 2/7/2014" This was pretty good. I do like the relationship between Vicky Holden and Fr. John but it is tense because he is a Catholic priest and she a divorced Arapaho Indian lawyer. He has been away as this book begins and it takes a while for them to get together after his return to the mission. There is one thing missing from his story, though: I never see him in prayer. "

— Julie, 12/17/2013" This is a series about a priest on an Indian reservation. In this book, a murder took place many years ago when the Indians were part of a silent movie in Hollywood. "
