Girl Gone Missing

3.5 stars rounded up. Found this series by accident, and while it seems somewhat far fetched in some ways, I am enjoying the storyline and characters.

(But what do I really know of the intricacies of the midwestern 1970's child welfare, ICWA, BIA, general systems of care/systems impact on indigenous peoples, and systemic racism, aside from the fact that it was as unjust, fucked up and mismanaged as any other state's?!?).

The writing and character development leads the reader to want to get to know each character more and to care about them, and what happens to them, and there appears to be enough research and truth included to be realistic yet intriguing and not make you shake your head too much in complete disbelief. Unless you have no imagination, or don't believe in mysticism or the power of indigenous ancient shamanic/earth/ancient/psychic magical type things at all, in which case, maybe don't bother reading this series, since there is just enough to annoy you, which is what I like about the series.

Short, sweet and well narrated audiobooks with some good tidbits of historical context included that seem very timely and poignant today. Recommend highly for those mystery lovers out there who are intrigued to read/listen to something a little different.
