Firekeeper’s Daughter is the riveting story of Daunis Fontaine, who witnesses a friend’s horrifying murder in her community. Highly knowledgeable about chemistry and traditional medicines, Daunis is convinced to help the FBI investigate a deadly drug linked to her friend’s murder. She is soon drawn into a web of players with conflicting and unclear motives: from the FBI to deeply-respected tribe members. Daunis must work together with Jamie Johnson, a young undercover officer, to seek justice for her friend and find the person behind the new drug before more deaths occur.
Absolutely stunning. I literally could not put it down after a certain point! Firekeeper’s Daughter is filled with vivid descriptions, memorable characters, and packed with details about Ojibwe culture and language. Boulley interlaces important truths about identity, the reality of violence against women, and pulls the tale together with accomplished skill. The pacing is excellent; I always felt a sense of deep urgency woven through the pages as Daunis tracks the culprit and the deaths continue. I also found myself completely shocked by the twists and bone-chilling reveals! The sub-plots and clues all come together in a fast-paced and bittersweet conclusion. Firekeeper’s Daughter made me cry, scream, and laugh. I can’t wait to see what Angeline Boulley writes next and I highly recommend you check out Firekeeper’s Daughter!
