Having read some of this author's other books, I was disappointed when I read this one. First, the author seemed to want us to follow the beliefs of the American Indians. I have known many American Indians and Christian missionaries to the Indians all of my life. I know that they would have been disturbed about the spirituality of this book. It is one thing to enlighten the reader; it is another to accept those beliefs into Christ's message. Secondly, the plot and actions in this book seemed to be contrived and plodding. The story went on and on and - o-n.

I've read most of Colleen Cobles (Rhoads) books and have loved every one of them. Windigo Twilight is no exception. Colleen brings the reader right up to the shores of Lake Superior and into the lives of this rather eclectic group of people, all seeming to have a reason to commit murder. And the reader is kept guessing along with Becca, the heroine, right up until the end. I also loved how Colleen dropped in a little snippet about Bree Nichols, the heroine in her Rock Harbor series. I can't wait for more LI suspense to come out by Colleen.

A woman goes undercover with members of her own family (!) who apparently don't recognize her in order to find her parents' killer. The book could have used some editing and the romance here feels forced and not natural. There is some interesting commentary about Christianity as well as Ojibwa spirituality. Not the author's best work.

I just finished Colleen's new SH release, Windigo Twilight and wanted to recommend it to anyone who loves romantic suspense with a mystery to solve! One crime.....so many suspects....and the heroine must figure out who murdered her parents--BEFORE they can get to her! Excellent read! Check it out! It's the first in Colleen's Great Lakes Legends series...put out by SH...under the name Colleen Rhoads. It's a must-read! For more of my book reviews, visit (...)
