More than a thriller crime story, this one frames it through the lense of the generational, cultural, and social fallout from the erasure/genocide of Native Americans. The protagonist is a crime scene photographer who also can see and interact with ghosts, a major taboo in her family's culture but something she doesn't fully control. Overall a great story build up but it did feel a bit rushed at the end. Still highly recommended.
