The Only Good Indians

Four hunting buddies make a mistake that comes back to haunt them, and so much more. I plowed through this novel. Is it horrifying? Yes! From the opening chapter to Lewis and his Elk Woman...it just goes and goes. There is a lot to unpack here, and much of it is about tradition and loyalty. This is my second SGJ read and both times I have been really impressed. He underlies all of this tense storytelling with a sense of humor, alleviating the tension. I appreciate that. His characters are so real, I think I was even a notch more terrified than I should have been by how realistic these characters are. Such a good read.
