I wrote a review earlier and it has not been posted. No idea why; so I'm trying again.This books lacks suspense and it is not well researched.I'm willing to suspend disbelief in order to be entertained, but when glaring mistakes jump off a page at me I'm jerked back into reality; and pretty ticked. Research people! Research! If you intend to write a novel check everything from campground supervision to the actual ethnic makeup of small towns. The one that really fried me was the full blood Native American, a non-Navajo, with a Navajo last name.A main plot point referring to Mormon records and the colonies in Mexico is pretty far fetched. Mormons valued their records and if the colony was abandoned they would have taken their journals and personal histories as well as the church records with them. Those records would be housed in a church library somewhere not left to the elements in a ruin.I am a Mormon. I lived in Arizona for 7 years and so many small things were wrong in this book I couldn't settle down and try to enjoy it.
