Book Description
In Margaret Coel's latest Wind River Reservation mystery, Arapaho attorney Vicky Holden and Father John O'Malley find themselves immersed in the dark underbelly of the illegal market for Indian relics.
The Arapahos call it "The Drowning Man"-an ancient petroglyph depicting the haunting image of a human figure struggling under water. A priceless artifact to the tribe, the sacred object is worth a quarter of a million dollars to the thieves who took it.
After receiving the ransom demand, Father John is determined to uncover the identity of the culprits and recover the petroglyph. The theft is nearly identical to an unsolved seven-year-old case involving another stolen petroglyph-and manslaughter. Vicky joins Father John to piece together the events of the past seven years. But their quest will put them in the path of a relentless killer who will stop at nothing to remain unknown.

Wonderful reading, as usual........2007-01-10
This was a great book by a great author, Margaret Coel. I hope there will be many more books with Father John and Vicky in it. I have read the entire series and each time I finish a book, I am already looking forward to the next one. When I finish the stories I have this wild desire to be able to help Father John in his endeavor to stay faithful to his calling but I also want him and Vicky to be together. I guess this is what keeps me waiting for the next book. When an author can make you feel all these emmotions, she is good, real good.
The Drowning Man.......2007-01-06
Well written book and great characters I am just beginning to know these authors and hope to read more of them in the future.
The Drowning Man.......2007-01-05
Another great story in the series by Coel. Can't wait for the next one each time. And you learn another facet of the Indians in the Southwest. I love the interplay between Father John and Vicki and the other characters. Good reading.
I discovered a new author and loved it and want more.......2007-01-05
I am always looking for a new author and just by chance I clicked on this and then said OOPS. But when the book arrived and I read it I decided to read some more of her books and found them just great and really good reads. I loved the Tony Hillerman series with Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee and now have found another writer with a great group of characters that I can care about. theresa
Margaret Coel at her Best!.......2006-11-23
This is Coel at her best! Father John and lawyer Vicki are contacted by separate individuals regarding the theft of a piece of sacred rock art on the Wind River Reservation. Father John tries to retrieve the art for the Arapahoe tribe he serves, while Vicki tries to free a convicted murderer from prison in relationship to the case. Meanwhile, Father John and assistant Ian take in an elderly priest who "needs rest," according to their superiors. The mission nearly loses its congregation when the tribe finds out that the visiting priest is a pedophile. Vicki and her partner, Adam, represent the tribe in a case involving BLM activity in the petroglyph-filled canyon on the reservation, but both their business and personal partnerships are filled with conflict. Greed, violence, and respect for all things sacred are universal themes brought to life in this novel. Coel's singing prose, and realistic characters and setting make this book a joy to read.

Greed, Land and Oil.......2006-07-13
That's what this first book in the Father John O'Malley series is about. This is an excellent mystery with a wonderful storyline as well. Ms. Coel's characters are believable and she keeps the plot moving along at a really nice pace. I really enjoyed this look at the life of the Native American on the Indian Reserve and also it gave me a chance to learn a little more about the Arapaho history. Father John is a wonderful character, and I look forward to reading more of his adventures in future books. And he and his sidekick Vicky have lots of motives to follow up on when an Indian tribal chief is found knifed in his tipi.
An enjoyable, satisfying read.......2005-08-17
Margaret Coel's mystery novel debut is a well-crafted, compelling thriller about how the ghosts of the past continue to haunt the present. I cared about all of her protagonists, but what's more, I also cared about the fates of minor characters. I wanted to know if Ernest would get his act together and reunite with his family and if Homer Lone Wolf's baby would live as much as I wanted to see all my questions about Harvey Castle's murder answered.
Coel lets her readers in on who the villains are fairly early in the novel, but the story remains compelling because you want to learn about the motives behind their actions. What terrible information did Harvey find in his historical research that someone would kill him for it?
Coel also excels at capturing the quiet dignity of the Arapaho people and at describing the Wyoming setting. I grew up in Wyoming, and her writing stirred memories of the bleak, oddly beautiful landscape I once knew so well.
A New Western Master.......2003-11-22
This is a first in a new series set in the Western US. It centres around an Arapaho reservation. The principal characters are a Jesuit priest and an Arapaho lawyer. The story itself is well written, the plot moves along at a good pace. The clues are fairly given, allowing the reader to follow along with the protagonist. If there is one thing that I found a little sterotypical was that all that the white people, with one exception, are out to rip off the Natives. I have no doubt that this goes on and went on. Yet, it would be better to have a mix, such as in the Tony Hillerman works. Still, an excellent read and an author I would continue to read.
Enjoyable mystery.......2003-11-13
Margaret Coel hits all the right notes in this first book of her series which takes place on an Indian Reservation in Wyoming. Father John O'Malley has been sent to the reservation after his battle with alcoholism during his previous post in Boston. His struggles with drinking have given him insight into the alcohol problem which is so prevalent among the Arapahos that he serves. Just before a festive powwow is to begin, Father John discovers the dead body of Harvey Castle, one of the tribal council members. He teams up with an Arapaho attorney, named Vicki Holden, and the two begin an investigation in order to protect Harvey's nephew who has been accused of the murder. Coel creates interesting characters, and both Father John and Vicki have past problems which give them more depth than many characters in mystery stories. Coel also does a good job of portraying the Arapaho culture and adds interesting details about things such as funeral customs, "Indian time", and the "moccasin telegraph". I look forward to reading the other books in this series.
Good start to series of mystery stories..........2003-09-05
My mom gave me six Margaret Coel novels, all about Father John O'Malley and Vicky Holden. Let me say, that at the time of this review I have already started the second book and it is even better than this one.
First off, the characters are realistic, painfully so. Real problems and real life issues insert themselves through-out the story. Yes, there is a murder on the reservation but Father John O'Malley has to worry about everything from a new assistant to his fight against the bottle.
The detailed pages within these books allow me to feel the wind off the plain, smell the food at the powwow and see the colors of the sky. A mixture of Rex Stout and Zane Grey!

Full Moon Stories.......2000-04-29
This book of stories is a rare treat to read. I couldn't get onto the next story fast enough. With each tale I was pulled straight into the home and at the knees of the storyteller, Grandpa Iron. I "became" one of his grandchildren, smudged by the cedar, leaning forward to hear every detail of the story about horse, moose, mole, swallow, and the nine other animals, one for each poetically descriptive Full Moon of the year such as "Moon of the Popping Trees" in December with turtle. I, like Grandpa Iron's grandchildren, relish and believe the stories! How hard it must have been for the children to wait one whole month for each new story.
I love the illustrations, both paintings and colored pencil drawings. They convey the character and movement of the animals so well. The colors are bright and entrancing; and the symbols painted on the animals are intriguing. They look so like the pictographs I have seen painted on hides in museums and reproduced from ledger books. There are stars, moon, lightning, mountains, the sun, and other ones which are yet a mystery to me.
As well as the stoies there are details of the children's and Grandpa and Grandma Iron's life on the Wind River Reservation: doing chores, packing to go to the Sundance, eating Grandma's stew and fry bread, and running barefoot in the snow. I have been to Wind River and could feel again through the book the vastness and intimacy of the land. This book is an outstanding model of how stories can be written and presented with enthusiasm for children.

If you like Tony Hillerman, you'll also enjoy and appreciate Margaret Coel--whose endearing hero Father John O'Malley treats his Arapaho parishioners with respect and kindness. In his second outing, Father O'Malley has to deal with a disappearing corpse and the suspicions of the local police. Hillerman has called Coel a "master"; he isn't just being kind to a younger writer.

Another Happy Addiction.......2007-10-15
If you haven't yet read Margaret Coel, you are in for a treat. I got hooked on Elizabeth George and now I am hooked on Margaret Coel. She gives us the same kind of attractive characters and the same kind of authentic plots as George does. Just as George mirrors the world of British aristocracy, so Coel gives us a closeup of life on an Indian reservation. I have been to the Wind River Reservation. Coel captures it perfectly. You will not only love Father O'Mallely; you will love all of the Arapaho Indians you will meet.
Father John O'Malley is my new favourite sleuth........2006-09-18
Margaret Coel's Father John O'Malley series is a winner. Her characters are strong and realistic, and Father John himself is one of the most endearing sleuths I've come across in this genre for quite some time. In this book Father John and his lawyer friend Vicky become involved with some really bad dudes. They both see that their beloved Wind River Reservation is facing a terrible danger, and it is up to them to avert it. One of the nicest things about these books is the nice mix that Coel pens between the white world and the world of the Reservation. As we read we see that there is some tension there, but these two cultures do mange to coexist together. I can't wait to read the next one.
Strong characters put to the test.......2005-08-29
Margaret Coel has said she has her characters face great challenges in order to see what they're made of. In "The Ghost Walker," her second mystery in a series, Father John O'Malley and Vicky Holden definitely get put through the wringer, which was a bit torturous for me to read, since I have already come to care about these characters so much.
But Father John and Vicky rise to meet their respective challenges with dignity, grace and humanity. Vicky struggles to save her drug-addicted daughter from a group of men who could be killers, while Father John combats plans to shut down his beloved Jesuit mission while wrestling with his own feelings for Vicky and his alcoholism.
As far as the mystery goes, Coel once again makes it clear who the bad guys are early in the novel. Normally, this would kill any suspense, but Coel has a gift for making you want to keep reading even when she lets you in on her secrets. You want to see how all the pieces will finally fit together, and you want to further probe the motives of the villains who bring such chaos to other people's lives.
"The Ghost Walker" wasn't just a page-turning mystery. It was a top-notch, character-driven novel with two protagonists you really want to see triumph in the end.
Second in the series.......2003-11-18
In this book Father John O'Malley discovers a dead body beside the road. His credibility takes a beating when the police return and the body is gone. At this point, Father John makes it his mission to find the body and discover who has died. When a commercial developer threatens to take over Father O'Malley's mission and turn it into a recreation center, he becomes distraught and is tempted to turn to alcohol, which has been the bane of his existence for many years. Instead, he teams up with Arapaho attorney Vicky Holden, and tries to solve the murder while helping Vicky with her drug-addicted daughter, Susan. This book, while not as compelling as the first book of the series, "The Eagle Catcher", is still a good read.
Hmmmm.... Perhaps the others are better?.......2003-03-30
Ghost Walker is the story of Father O'Malley a Jesuit priest who works at St. Francis on the Arapaho reservation, and in his free time solves crime. Father O'Malley is a likeable character, with two problems: he has just discovered a body in a ditch by the side of the road, and two: he has financial trouble and is having difficulty making ends meet.
I wanted to like Ghost Walker, because it contained some of my favorite fictional elements: Native American Characters and Mystery, but the writing was inconsistent, and I really couldn't decide whether this book was supposed to be a 'cozy' mystery or hard-edged murder mystery, as a result it was neither, and the story suffered as a result.
Pros: Unique characters, interesting setting, some Native American Lore described.
Cons: O'Malley interfered WAY too much in Police Investigations. Police AND FBI, seemed to sit by the phone, waiting for O'Malley to call. (Yeah, right.) Substance and Alcohol Abuse themes felt a little bit heavy-handed for this reader, and I felt a bit sermonized to. The ending left me saying: Where's the mystery?
Overall, this was an okay read. I would have liked it better if it had been either a hard-edged mystery or a cozy. As both, it was rather weak, and it left me with a blah, ambivalent feeling.

Solid entry in the Arapaho Indian Mysteries.......2007-06-19
Tony Hillerman, who has provided hours of my reading enjoyment, blurbs this first-rate crime fiction, one in the Arapaho Indian Mysteries. Margaret Coel proves herself adept at handling settings in the big city of Denver as well as life on the Wind River Reservation. Vicky Holden is a young, attractive Arapaho attorney who is trying to establish her practice. Father John O'Malley, the reservation's mission priest, is battling his alcohol demons. Together, they chase down an Arapaho ledger pictorially recording an Army massacre at Sand Creek in the previous century. The missing ledger is also worth over a million dollars, and cutthroats are willing to murder to recover and sell it. This is a well-paced mystery with two likeable leads in Vicky and Father John who have romantic feelings for each other. The Colorado landscape is vivid. Ms. Coel displays a sympathetic touch and astute grasp of the Arapaho culture and history which she conveys to the reader. Very enjoyable.
Murder and justice.......2007-03-04
With her usual skill, Margaret Coel weaves an intriguing tale of murder and Native American issues, both historical and current. The book also highlights the dangers of preconceived notions, as illustrated by the police detective who is too ready to accept deaths of minority victims as "drug-related" and by an array of characters who dismiss the memories of an Arapaho elder because of his age.
The Story Teller combines a compelling mystery with the search for truth about victims long dead. One of Coel's best!
Missing artifacts and murder.......2007-01-10
This fourth book in the Windy River Reservation mystery series is a winner. I truly like how the two main characters, Vicky Holden and Father John O'Malley are developing. Ms. Coel has made them into wonderfully well-rounded characters that I can't wait to continue reading about. This book has a wonderful mystery as Vicky and Father John are on the trail of a priceless Arapaho artifact in Denver. Young people keep getting killed while the two of them are trying to find the solution to this mystery. This is a wonderful and different sort of mystery series, and I recommend it highly. Father John O'Malley is my favourite fictional sleuth right now.
Never A Dull Moment.......2007-01-04
Margaret Coel has the ability to transport the reader to a different world, to a place where her characters live and breathe, once opening the first page of one of her books. You will surely not want to put the book down until the mystery had been solved, this one spanning the Wyoming Wind River reservation to the busy streets of Denver, the southern plains of Colorado and back again.
Coel is a stunning Storyteller herself. Skillful, studied, straightforward, smooth, strategic, sublime, sizzling, solid, sonorous, spacious, succinct, spicy, suspenseful, stupendous, substantial, spotless, superb and other superlatives could readily summarize her stories.
Reclaiming the past.......2006-06-05
Coel writes wonderful mystery novels set in the American West and filled with intriguing Arapaho lore. She is a master at exploring crimes from the past and showing how they could affect the present.
In "The Story Teller," Coel takes Arapaho attorney Vicky Holden and mission priest Father John O'Malley out of their comfort zone on the reservation to the big city of Denver. They hunt for a missing ledger book that proves Arapaho were killed along with Cheyenne during the Sand Creek Massacre.

Chief Left Hand.......2001-01-24
A great read for anyone interested in the history of the Plains Indian tribes. It brought to life one of the lessor known, but influential, Indian chiefs of the region. I also learned a great deal about the settling of the Denver/Boulder communities during the Colorado gold rush days.
Book Description
When the body of a white man is recovered from a shallow grave in one of the most troubled corners of the Wind River Reservation, Father John O'Malley knows that if the murderer isn't caught quickly, this tragedy will only be the beginning. The victim's widow is already out for revenge. In the meantime, Father John's old friend Vicky Holden has just been hired as in-house counsel at the newly-opened Great Plains Casino. But trouble is brewing, as an angry group of protesters known as the Rangers is bent on proving the casino is a house of evil...and shutting it down for good.
As tensions rise, Father John and Vicky work feverishly to sort out the story. But when Vicky stumbles across some troubling evidence, she's suddenly caught in a dangerous game--with her own life at stake...
Customer Reviews:
Hang on for a wild ride!.......2007-08-10
This is certainly the best book so far in this series. The action is non-stop, and the tension just keeps increasing. We get a first-hand look at the operation of First Nation-owned gambling casinos, and the effects both good and bad that these facilities have on the First Nation tribes that have them. They bring prosperity and money for programs for the people, but they can also bring unsavoury people and companies to the casino because these people want to take advantage of he money that is being made. This book runs two parallel stories as usual. Father John is trying to determine what happened to an Arapaho who has disappeared. This Arapaho is the pit boss at the casino on the Wind River Reserve. Vicky is working as a lawyer for the casino and uncovers many secrets and frauds that get her into a pack of trouble. And of course, there are dead bodies along the way. The plot eventually melds together, and we have the formidable pair of Father John and Vicky Holden working together to uncover evil, dishonesty and also to unmask a murderer. This series keeps on getting better and better.
Killing Raven.......2006-03-03
Excellent book if you like Native American thrillers. We read a lot of the Thurlo books and Margaret Coel's books are a lot like those. The book keeps you on you seat and guessing all the time about the plot. You won't be able to put the book down once you start.
It's always a treat reading a new "Margaret Coel".......2004-11-09
This latests mystery was no exception. The plot involves a casino that has just opened on the Arapaho reservation in Wyoming. Vicki, an Arapaho lawyer, is desperate for work but not very excited when she gets offered some work by the casino -- she has some concerns about the place. In the meantime, Father John, Jesuit priest who runs the reservation mission, has been called on to say some prayers over a body that's been discovered. And that involvement leads to Father John's getting caught up in whatever is going on at the casino, as he attempts to locate someone who has gone missing. So -- you have both Father John and Vicki snooping around the casino, and since they have an unstated special regard for each other, you know their paths will cross -- and they do.
I don't know why I love Coel's mysteries so much, but it has to do with her portrayal of life on the reservation -- I feel like it's a place I know well, and that her fictional characters are real people I've met. The plotting is very good, but that's not why I read the books. My only complaints about her books are 1) enough of Vicki and Father John pining for each other -- Vicki needs to forget about him and find someone available; and 2) I don't like all the violence that usually marks the end of Coel's books -- this one being no exception.
Vicki works for the casino.......2004-01-16
Margaret Coel hits all the right notes in the latest book about Arapaho attorney Vicky Holden and the Wind River Reservation's priest, Father John. The discovery of a dead body at Double Dives brings Father John into an investigation, just as his friend Vicky is offered a job at the Indian reservation's gambling casino. Vicky has her doubts about the casino job, but she is convinced by Adam Lone Eagle, the other attorney at the casino that it would be beneficial to her people. Vicky has been barely making ends meet in her law practice, so she agrees to join Adam. As she learns more about the operation, Vicky becomes suspicious about the legality of some of its practices. The human side of gambling problems is revealed when one of Father John's employees becomes enmeshed in gambling debts. The delicate balancing act of Vicky and Father John's relationship is again addressed in this book, and the possibility of a new romance for Vicky causes them to face some issues that they have chosen to ignore in the past. The beautiful background of the Wyoming reservation, the well-defined characters, and the tightly-woven plot are all typical of this series.
Casino complications on the rez.......2004-01-12
A new casino brings friction and prosperity to the Arapahos on the sun-baked Wind River Reservation in Coel's ninth Vicky Holden and Father John O'Malley mystery.
When a white man is discovered in a shallow grave on Indian land, Fr. O'Malley worries it has something to do with the "rangers" protesting the casino, largely through intimidation. Meanwhile attorney Vicky, barely making ends meet, has been asked to do some legal work for her tribe's casino. On an elder's advice she takes the job, along with his suspicion that tribal overseers are lining their pockets illegally.
The atmosphere of menace grows as Vicky noses into places she's not wanted and O'Malley wonders what the disappearance of an Indian casino dealer has to do with the murder victim. Coel dovetails their separate investigations nicely, bringing the pair together and fanning the flames of a friendship they can't afford to nurture. The plot explores the temptations of gambling, the crime it attracts, and the dilemma it presents to impoverished Indian tribes before building to a nail-biting, over-the-top climax. The Great Plains country and modern reservation life are particularly well done in this established and thoughtful series.

True History.......2000-07-11
This book, although fiction, is true history. It was written by Henty in 1894. It's a classic adventure novel right up there in the ranks of Swiss Family Robinson. Henty was an outstanding writer of his time. It's very easy to get lost in this book, I'd be suprised if anyone could read it without putting it down. It's full of references and dialect of days long gone by. I want to jump into a time machine and go live with Tom for a while and quit worrying about traffic and work. I am fortune enough to own an original 1894 hard copy of this book that was given to me by a family friend and will cherrish it for ever.
This book is really exciting and informative........1999-02-26
This book presents a factual side of western history in an exciting way! That is very rare these days. From the first few pages, you are drawn in by young Tom's determination to join his uncle in Colorado and the dangers, joys, and sorrows he encounters along the way. I read this book in five days; it is an impossible put-down! All those who love history or just great stories will love this book.

Book Description
Tell Me, Grandmother is at once the biography of Goes-in-Lodge, a traditional Arapaho woman of the nineteenth century, and the autobiography of her descendant, Virginia Sutter, a modern Arapaho woman with a Ph.D. in public administration. Sutter adeptly weaves her own story with that of Goes-in-Lodge—who, in addition to being Sutter's great-grandmother, was first wife of Sharpnose, the last reigning chief of the Northern Arapaho nation.
Told in a question-and-answer format between twenty-first-century granddaughter and matriarchal ancestor and, Sutter discusses four generations of home life, including child rearing, education, courtship, marriage, birthing, and burial. Goes-in-Lodge speaks of social and ceremonial gatherings, the Sun Dance, the sweat lodges, and the changes that took place on the Great Plains throughout her lifetime. Sutter's portrait of Goes-in-Lodge is based on tribal history and interviews with tribal members. Sutter details her own life as a child born in a teepee to white and Indian parents and the discrimination and injustice she faced struggling to make her way in an increasingly Euro-American world.
