Exposure by Ramona EmersonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I’m not surprised that Ramona Emerson wasn’t going to stop at just Shudder, because there was clearly room for much more story to tell with Rita Todacheene. And so it goes with another paranormal murder mystery in New Mexico - this time set in a bone chilling Gallup winter, with a killer targeting indigent Native people under the direction of a vengeful God, or so the delusion would have it. Seriously, though, this particular religiously twisted killer is the second coming of Silas from The Da Vinci Code, right down to the self flagellation through a terrible whip known as “la disciplina.” Emerson is one of the unsung heroes the mystery genre needs right now, not only for her Diné cultural perspective (important every day, but especially on Indigenous People’s Day), but for her genre blending ways, breathing new life into the literary world with each new book.
