Betrayed (Jennie McGrady Mystery Series #7)
Grade 6-9?Jennie McGrady has been called to help out on the Dancing Waters Ranch after her uncle is injured in an explosion that claimed the life of one of the ranch hands. The young woman's intrinsic detective instincts take over even before she reaches the Bitterroot Mountains of Montana. The bomber's motive could be prejudice against her Uncle Jeff, a Native American, or knowledge of the gold mine on the family's 20,000 acres. Though the book takes off slowly, it soon becomes a page turner. A touch of Indian culture with slight religious undertones of both Christianity and the Great Spirit set a pleasing tone.?Bambi L.
