another good book by the gear's
this is a decsent gear book it is a murder
mist
ry. the problem with it is while investegating the murder the old dreamer does the same thing over and over every day but somehow still finds out how did it. but there is a big surprise at the very end that make it a good read.
It Weaves Together to Form a Plot That Will Suprise You!
This story took place around the Chesapeake Bay which I grew up around so the location of the story intrigued my curiousity. I have read all of the Gear's books in order and I have watched their artistic historical stories unfold and grow in so many ways. Their first couple of stories seemed to be repetitive but beginning with the 3rd of the series the Gear's have found so many ways to manipulate the story into twists and turns that leaves any reader fascinated and wanting more. It weaves some of the older stories into their current stories and this one was just as great. I had never suspected the ending and I was astonished at how well the story came together. The research is always breathtaking as well and I will continue to be a faithful Gear's reader.

Read the whole series
And learn about the culture and history of the North American
people
and have fun doing it. Every book is a great story. The characters are always so well formed, and the storyline well laid out, like the Gears had a time machine and really went back and wrote down what was really being said and done at that exact moment.
One of their best.
This is one of their best novels, a gripping mystery with lots of character development. A very swift read.
one of the better People books
I love the Panther, and I love that the heroine is a plain-looking, initially immature girl who grows up and shows her true potential for greatness. Much more well-rounded a character than in most of the
People books
(and I don't mean anatomically!). Most of the characters here are less two-dimensional, in fact, than in a lot of the Gear's later books. Nobody is flat-out evil, not even Copper Thunder. While the Panther sometimes comes off sounding a little too didactic and like some mind-reading master of all human psychology, he overall is a lot of fun to follow.

With
People
of the
Mist
, the Gears take us to the Chesapeake Bay of six hundred years ago, when the unprovoked and brutal murder of a young woman on the eve of her wedding threatens to turn the entire Algonquin Nation against itself in a brutal war that could destroy them as a people.
No ordinary woman, Red Knot was the heir to the Greenstone clan and the future leader of the independent villages. Her death has shattered all alliances and left a power void which several ambitious clan chiefs see as their destiny to fill. The very air vibrates with the drums and war cries of the rallying warriors.
Into the eye of this brewing storm steps the bitter old man they call The Panther. Feared as a sorcerer, The Panther is the only one with the power to demand to be heard by all. But as he digs deeper into the ever-thickening web of lies surrounding the murder, and uncovers darker, more deeply rooted secrets, he fears there may be no words to stop the impending bloodshed.
