Smoke Signals (A John Tall Wolf Novel Book 4) --by Joseph Flynn

Fiction / Mystery
189 Pages / 1958 KB
5 Star

Coyote is Trickster. Coyote is also very intelligent. One reason Coyote has survived so long since humans came into her territory, is she learns, she adapts, she's wily.

John Tall Wolf his fiancé of the RCMPs, and his boss, Marlene (Coyote) find themselves in the Washington Cascade mountains. Marlene still wants Tall Wolf, but she is learning, adapting, becoming more wily. Who will win this dancing contest? It's anybody's guess, but there is a strong indication that Coyote has met her match. Will she figure it out?

There is a bear prowling these woods and he's hungry. He isn't particular who he eats, he just wants someone, anyone, and seems to really want Tall Wolf. There is also a monster who makes an appearance or two. Something no one has seen and lived to talk about. The monster also wants Tall Wolf.

Again, Tall Wolf is playing well with others, which I find refreshing, instead of all the books with protagonists who are terminally ill with testosterone poisoning. Tall Wolf has his share, and then some, but he isn't poisoned by it. He sees no harm in sharing, in fact, he sees benefit in same, if not now, perhaps later. He even tries to make his boss look good.

Marlene has more of a presence in this book, and it's great. How much does she change? I'm not sure, but Book 5 is waiting for my perusal.
