Wildcrafters

The dark side, of “Northern Exposure”, or perhaps the light side of “Twin Peaks” — that’s the appealing, slightly eccentric place lucky readers discover upon opening one of Skye Kathleen Moody’s mysteries featuring DOI Fish and Wildlife Agent Venus Diamond.In Moody’s new novel, following Rain Dance and Blue Poppy, Venus investigates an infant’s disappearance from a tiny community in western Washington along the Muckleshoot Wildlife Preserve. Venus, interrupted on her honeymoon, must separate the facts of the case from village rumors and superstition about “the Unknown”, the monstrous creature villagers say roams the preserve in search of victims.
