“The Firekeeper’s Daughter” by Angeline Boulley

The Firekeeper's Daughter is the best thriller we've read all year. Here's why we were enthralled.

It's no secret that both of us love a good mystery novel, so when we first heard of The Firekeeper's Daughter -- which is being billed as a grown-up, "Indigenous Nancy Drew" story-- we both knew that we had to read it immediately.

Set in the mid-aughts at the height of the methamphetamine epidemic, Boulley's debut novel takes place in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan amongst the area's Objiwe population.
