Native American Mystery Writing
«Mary Stoecklein’s Native American Mystery Writing is a welcome study of a fast-growing and fascinating genre within the genres of Native American story-telling and crime fiction. Although non-Native writers have written mysteries with Native characters in major roles, never before have Native writers themselves produced as many ingenious plots and engrossing stories of fictional crime detection. Stoecklein’s analysis of the selected novels—their cultural relevance as well as their imagery and approaches to solving mysteries—is not only well-researched and reasoned but is also highly readable. It is truly an outstanding first book.»
