A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK

In her powerful debut novel, Looking for Smoke, author K. A. Cobell (Blackfeet) weaves loss, betrayal, and complex characters into a thriller that will illuminate, surprise, and engage listeners until the final word. A must-pick for listeners who enjoy books by Angeline Boulley and Karen McManus!

When local girl Loren includes Mara in a traditional Blackfeet Giveaway to honor Loren’s missing sister, Mara thinks she’ll finally make some friends on the Blackfeet reservation.

Instead, a girl from the Giveaway, Samantha White Tail, is found murdered.

Because the four members of the Giveaway group were the last to see Samantha alive, each becomes a person of interest in the investigation. And all of them—Mara, Loren, Brody, and Eli—have a complicated history with Samantha.

Despite deep mistrust, the four must now take matters into their own hands and clear their names. Even though one of them may be the murderer.

I am a Native person and I love to hear about other tribes culture and norms while also recognizing themes and realities all or most tribal nations share. The story was amazing and gripping.

Having lived close to Browning and being friends with the Cobell family I found this narrative very interesting. Although it is a sensitive subject, I enjoyed the descriptions of locations I am very familiar with.

Wonderful Book

This book was a realistic look at life on a reservation and young adults’ feelings and reactions to the MMIW epidemic. It illustrates the unfortunate reality that sometimes people who we think we really know are not what they seem. It shows also how the drug issue impacts everyone, not just those who use or sell. It has a ripple effect through the community. It highlights the inter generational trauma and how that colors how the next generation views and responds to life challenges. I would recommend this book to others.

An authentic look into the MMIW

I had higher hopes for the book. The book was very slow until the last two or so hours. I had to push myself to get through it.

It was okay...
