Catherine Astolfo kept me up all night with book #2 in the Emily Taylor series.  The protagonist, the amateur sleuth, Emily Taylor, becomes involved in many adventures, some of which are dangerous.  When her assistant's Native Canadian aunt goes missing, Emily is on the case.  The reader along with Emily, learns the traditions and myths of the Ojibwa tribe. Astolfo tenderly introduces us to the tribe members, their traditions, and their life styles.Astolfo also gives us the greedy outsiders that are building a subdivision near the village and near tribal land.  The greed of the outsiders and the opposition by the tribe and village is vividly portrayed.The scenery and weather (which plays an important part to the story) are wonderfully described.  Astolfo reminds us that Mother Earth must be protected and her resources used wisely.If you want a good mystery with a few thrills tossed in, I recommend this book.
