    About this audiobook

    This cryptic message was clearly meant for Father O’ Malley. The unemotional voice on the answering machine was speaking of revenge against old enemies, and wanted O’Malley to visit the site of the 1874 Bates Battle where Captain Bate’s cavalry, lead by Shoshone warriors massacred nearly everyone living on an Arapaho tribal grounds. Now, someone has left three dead Shoshones on the battlefield, positioned to mimic the bodies of those Arapahos killed in the historic slaughter. Frankie Montana, attorney Vicky Holden’s latest client, is a frequent guest of the reservation’s holding cells, and after a recent heated encounter with the three dead men, is the number one suspect in their deaths. Despite his faults, Vicky doesn’t believe he is capable of murder. Instead, she suspects that someone is trying to stir up a war between the Arapaho and Shoshone people, ripping open the still painful wounds of the past...the question is why?

      This book is a good read. I was expecting to learn more about the Arapaho people but did not. I will read the next book in the series.

      The story line was fine, the narration was dreadful. The focus was on Shoshones and the narrator mispronounced it throughout. Isn’t there some sort of review ahead of time?
    • 4/5
      Mystery-reading friends have urged me to read Margaret Coel, but I had never gotten around to it – until Eye of the Wolf showed up in my mailbox. What kept me from reading her Wind River Reservation series was probably the comparison of her work to Tony Hillerman’s and (sacrilege!), I’ve never found his books particularly compelling. Eye of the Wolf started out rather slowly, but soon I was sucked into the story, caring about both main and minor characters and really enjoying the read.The protagonists are Father John O’Malley, a Jesuit priest, recovering alcoholic and pastor of St. Francis Mission in Wyoming; and Vicky Holden, attorney and close friend of the padre. When a regular client, Frankie Montana, is a suspect in three murders, Vicky’s law partner and lover Adam Lone Eagle is not pleased that Vicky wants to represent the young ne’er do well. Adam had hoped they would join forces in a law partnership that would take on big cases involving Native American causes. Father O’Malley is drawn into the murders by a cryptic answering-machine message for “the Indian priest.” Using his powers of logic, he figures that the message refers to bodies that can be found at the site of the Bates Battle. In the 1874 confrontation, members of the Arapaho nation were slaughtered by Shoshones. Now 125 years later, it’s three Shoshones who are killed. When Father O’Malley finds the bodies on the Bates site, they’re positioned to mimic the dead Arapaho. Although both Arapaho and Shoshone live together – and reasonably peacefully -- on the Wind River Reservation, nearly everyone believes Frankie Montana, an Arapaho, is the killer. The situation is a real powder keg, threatening to blow up. But neither Vicky nor Father O’Malley is convinced Frankie committed the murders. Although I thought some of the dialogue was a tad stilted, the terrific plotting, great story-telling and many-layered characters more than made up for it. I’m not a huge fan of romantic entanglements between major characters so Vicky’s relationships with Father O’Malley (will they or won’t they?) and Adam Lone Eagle (can she trust him?) didn’t add much in my opinion. First published in Mystery news, October-November 2005 edition.

      Not the best Margaret Coel has offered in this series, this one drags in the middle and gets repetitive to a fault. The idea of an Arapahoe - Shoshone war is on every page and it doesn't take too long to figure out that the history professor's wife did the murders to promote his book. Then, it's just blah-blah-blah for the final 80% of the listen.
    • 5/5
      The usual twists and turns before you finally learn who dun it. This time we get a little bit about the history of the reservation as the four main characters work out what their futures will be.
