Crime Solving the REALLY Old Fashioned Way,
By Bill Henderson (Anaheim CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Grandfather Medicine (Paperback)
Author Jean Hager is Billie Letts (Where The Heart Is) Meets Tony Hillerman. If you're in the mood for a good police procedural, and you're on friendly terms with the landscape of eastern Oklahoma (and its people) you'll like this novel. Mitch Bushyhead is the chief of police of the tiny burg of Buckskin Oklahoma. Although he served on a "big city" police force, he now spends a lot of his time patrolling the quiet streets and country lanes planning his next fishing trip. However, even if recently widowed chief didn't have to find the killer of a celebrated Cherokee artist, he would be busy enough trying to figure out how to raise a teenage daughter as a single father. Not only does the murder of the artist force Bushyhead to pull back the veneer of a sedate small town, but forces him to come to terms with his own heritage (he's half Cherokee). Bushyhead solves this crime the old-fashioned way: keeping his eyes and ears open, as well as his options, as he pokes and prods his way through the Oklahoma back country. His crew of deputies are competent and colorful, but Bushyhead is the one whose job (and life) is on the line.
