I enjoyed the aspect of Mud’s self-journey and learning about the Kiowa people more than solving the actual mystery. All the details between the fracking and the museum were getting a bit muddied (pun intended). 

I had a hard time focusing on Mud and Denny’s suspicions, remembering who was where at what time and what everyone’s motive would be. I couldn’t get into it or try to solve the murder mystery along with them. 

I actually had no idea this was a series until I got to the acknowledgments. Since I like Mud as a character I’m interested in reading more books in the series.
