CHINDII WOMAN

What People Are Saying about Chindii Woman...

Having been an avid reader and mystery lover, I have read a variety of styles ranging from James Rollins, Tony Hillerman, Jonathan Kellerman and Dan Brown -- to the lighter side with Charlaine Harris and EJ Copperman... I now have a new favorite — Dorothy Ance Webb’s Chindii Woman: A Darcy Redbird Mystery.

This book grabbed me from the first page of the prologue and then kept on going — I didn’t want to put it down.

The Chicago-raised Darcy Redbird — in hopes of finding out the truth about her brother’s death — moves to the last place her brother was alive — a Navajo Reservation in the southwest.

While working to unravel the truth and stay alive, Darcy learns that her brother’s death was one of many and, according to the locals, the spirit woman named "Chindii Woman" — seeking revenge — caused the deaths.

Darcy also learns of Navajo culture and some of what it means to be a Native American Indian.

I thoroughly enjoyed the easy flow of the writing; the mystery was well crafted; characters believable and the cultural information and how it was wonderfully woven into the story was fascinating!

This is a must read!

About Chindii Woman

Darcy Redbird, a Lakota raised in Chicago, has come to the Navajo reservation to find the cause of her brother Joe's fatal accident in a dangerous canyon. She quickly learns that many similar accidents have also occurred there. The police report that Joe and the other accidents were blamed on alcohol, yet Joe didn't drink. The local Navajos believe the spirit of the Chindii Woman is taking her revenge on the young men who dare to travel through the canyon at night. Darcy lacks knowledge of any Native American culture, and doesn't believe in spirits. Now, with the help of her Navajo neighbor, Raymond Tsosie, she uncovers disturbing clues that put them in danger and tests her belief in the perceptible.
