A teenager goes missing at a New Year's Eve party only to be found months later, and all signs point to murder. Crime scene evidence incriminates her estranged boyfriend, Solemn Winter Moon, whose actions appear to corroborate the evidence. Cork's wife, Jo, is tasked with defending Solemn, and Cork is enlisted to investigate the crime. When he begins uncovering secrets involving prominent members of the community and long-standing prejudice against Solemn's tribe comes to light, Cork's job becomes more challenging. It endangers not only Solemn but Cork's family as well.
Cork has always struggled with his spiritual convictions, and this book brings that conflict to a head when Solemn claims to have had a visit from Jesus Christ and develops a following. Then, incidents that appear to be miracles occur, and Cork doesn't know what to believe. This is not only a good murder mystery but also a good look into what drives Cork. BLOOD HOLLOW does an excellent job of moving the series forward.
4/5 stars.
