A Small Target
"Definitely a Keeper"—Sandra West Prowell, author of The Killing of Monday Brown
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD
The beauty of Montana's high country lures professor, poet and trail cook Lee Squires to the Mission Mountains, and into the challenge of concocting vegetarian cuisine on a llama-riding, ecofriendly excursion to Lost Pipe Lake.
But things turn decidedly unfriendly when a showdown between a hotshot developer from Los Angeles and a Native American environmental activist ends in murder: someone walks quietly from the woods and fatally shoots Roland Redhawk with a bow and arrow. His death is just the beginning of a bizarre series of events that put Lee Squires on a new trail of murder....

Stick this one in your trail pack."

I found this one on a plane, when I didn't want to read more of
Three Cups of Tea
. The mystery itself wasn't very interesting, and all the "character" and "atmosphere" elements weren't really my style. I didn't care about the main character's relationship problems with her adulterous boyfriend, and the Native American angle was handled very superficially. It was like the author assumed everyone already cares about the mistreatment of Native Americans, so she didn't have to try very hard to make it interesting.
On the bright side, there were llamas. I love llamas!
