Lightning Strike: Cork O'Connor Mystery Series #18

I didn’t find the writing that compelling, or the mystery. I figured it out about half way through. It took a long time for the author to get to it. Another thing, why make the Indians so frustrating? They could have blown the investigation. I also wonder about the preachy tone. Did the authors editor say “need to talk more about how awful the white people are. You don’t have enough of that in there yet. Just make all the Indians only talk about the white man.” This was a bestseller? I cry for this country, because this book is very simplistic.
