I really enjoy this author's books about Father John and the Wind River Reservation. While they are not as complex as some other mysteries, like those of Patricia Cornwell or Elizabeth George, they are more involved than say, Dorothy Gilman's books or those of Lilian Jackson Braun. Coel's books are fun mysteries with just enough difficulty in trying to figure out "who did it" that they keep your mind busy trying to find out who the villain is before the book ends! I like the tension of the relationship between Father John and Vicky, the lawyer, as they try to figure out just what they both want out of their friendship. I also like the suspense and the danger that is always implicit in her books. She is a good writer, her plots are well thought out, and her characters are well developed, and their motivations believable.
