    About this audiobook

    In the wake of Fourth of July fireworks in Montana's Madison Valley, Hyalite County sheriff Martha Ettinger and Deputy Sheriff Harold Little Feather investigate a horrific scene at the Palisades cliffs, where a herd of bison have fallen to their deaths. Victims of blind panic caused by the pyrotechnics, or a ritualistic hunting practice dating back thousands of years? The person who would know is beyond asking, an Indian man found dead among the bison, his leg pierced by an arrow. Farther up the valley, fly fisherman, painter, and sometime private detective Sean Stranahan has been hired by the beautiful Ida Evening Star, a Chippewa Cree woman who moonlights as a mermaid at the Trout Tails Bar Grill, to find her old flame, John Running Boy. The cases seem unrelated-until Sean's search leads him right to the brink of the buffalo jump. With unforgettable characters and written with his signature grace and wry humor, Buffalo Jump Blues weaves a gripping tale of murder, wildlife politics, and lost love.

      I enjoyed the story lines that were interwoven in the book, but I thought the narration was lacking emotion or context. Many times, I wasn’t sure which character was speaking, because the tone never changed. Being from Montana, I also enjoyed the references to places I’ve spent some time!

      This is number five in the Sean Stranahan mystery series, although it works as a stand alone. These are Montana-based mysteries, steeped in Montana events and places – such as Great Falls’ (in)famous bar with mermaids. When recently asked about this genre of mystery, I called them ‘hairy knees and fly fishing’.Sean Stranahan is a fishing guide, artist and part time detective. As he is guiding a raft fishing trip, there is an area below a sheer cliff face where bison are dead and dying. It appears that someone has driven them from the cliffs above in an attempt to recreate the Native American pishkun drives. And of course, there is a body – a Blackfeet Indian killed in a most gruesome way.This one was actually more interesting to me than others in the series as it touches on the problems of the bison when they leave the protection of Yellowstone National Park. It also is a mini-handbook on the problems of jurisdiction on and off Indian Reservations. In an interview, the author said he didn’t mean to write a political novel – but this one is more political, and so to me more interesting than others in the series.

      Less thrilled with this story; getting too angsty for my tastes.....
