Tips and Resources From Your Margaret Coel Book Club Friends:

Margaret Coel’s Wind River Mysteries are deeply rooted in the rich cultural heritage and stunning landscapes of the American West. Set in Wyoming’s Wind River Reservation, her entertaining and intricately-plotted mystery books often delve into the Arapaho community and explore the themes of justice, cultural preservation, and reconciliation. Her writing brings the rugged beauty of Wyoming and the nuances of Arapaho culture vividly to life. And her central characters, Father John O’Malley, a Jesuit priest, and Vicky Holden, a talented Arapaho attorney, are engaging and complex detectives that not only solve “ripped-from-the-headlines” crimes but also grapple with the historical injustices that continue to shape their world.

A Question of Honor

“Arapahos had followed the buffalo, pitched villages in the lee of the mountains, ridden out like itinerant shop-keepers to trade buffalo robes and blankets with other Indian tribes. Intelligent, logical, peaceful, that was the Arapahos. ‘The businessmen of the plains,’ the first white traders had called them.”

Margaret Coel, The Eagle Catcher
Mia Abrams
“Just like with Tony Hillerman’s Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee series, Margaret Coel’s Wind River series is set on a Native American reservation, but in this case its in Wyoming and focuses on the Arapaho people. It’s an excellent series and one I highly recommend.”
