A Montana Mystery Featuring Gabriel Du Pre

De: Peter Bowen

Narrado por: Christopher Lane

Toussaint, Montana isn't easily rattled, but an earthquake uncovers an ancient burial ground and the well-preserved bones of a primitive people. When an archeologist is found with a bullet in his back and a dinosaur tooth in his pocket, sometime sleuth Gabriel Du Pre steps in with the wisdom and vision of his Metis ancestors to uncover the answers. But while Indian archeologists and entrepreneurs battle for valuable land and the precious remains of a dinosaur, a predator more dangerous than the great T. Rex walks the Montana plains, hungry to strike again.©1998 Peter Bowen (P)2003 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Strange, seductive...haunting....The wonder of these voices is that they are...blunt and crude, soaked in whiskey and raspy from laughter, but still capable of leaving echoes." (New York Times Book Review).
"Gloriously unbridled... [Du Pre] resonates with originality and energy." (Chicago Tribune).
"Wonderful...a wise tale that wears its idealism as casually as a pair of old jeans." (Washington Post).

Ok

It was alright, guess I like del Rey and and characters in the story and their accicent.

Excellent on every front.

This is a great story, it is written extreamly well, it is narrated in an outstanding manner and the dialog is so entertaining that there are no moments where you want the action to move any faster than the pace it was written at. I loved the eccentric characters, the back story on archeology. I would highly recommend this book, it is one of the best finds I have run across in a long time.

Well done!

Great book! Thank you! We listen to all of these books over and over. Well done.

Enjoyable

It took a bit to get used to the language in the first book. Now that I am used to it, I LOVE the series. starring on the next book immediately. 📖

Peter Bowen books are great,

the storyline is outstanding the recording is unabridged and the recording is good! always an interesting read

One of the best series of novels that I’ve read!

Peter Bowen‘s series with Gabriel Du Pre is one of the best set of novels that I have enjoyed listening to. This series has open my knowledge of the Métis people, truly rich in history and culture. The characters in the story are equally entertaining.
These books of lead me to Google more about Métis fiddle playing in music. I also was drawn to look for YouTube interviews of Peter Bowen. He was a great writer and equally entertaining to hear his street shooting love of Montana, the beauty of its nature and the people that have lived there over the ages. Thank you Mr. Bowen!

Excellent

Love the Gabriel Dupere books, and this one is no exception.
The narrator does a fabulous job, making it an enjoyable listen

I liked this book a lot. It was a good read and the reader was excellent. Good plot, good characters...good reader. What more do you want!

4+

Here is a darn good book, a visit to both recent and oh, so old, pasts.
North American archaelogy - what a turn on here.... the murder mystery- so quiet it almost slips into a few footnotes.
I loved tearing around rural Montana with our part time sheriff driving one of the old huge power cars - Crown Vic? When he slows down we hear about his "long time gone" ancestors- Isn't it lucky he has a rabid archaelogist with him? Full of dialects, accents, rocks and a few teeth, good people, crazy people, horses and fun. AUDIBLE - thank you for the chance to explore great older mysteries.

I just love Peter Bowen and the guy that narrates his books is perfect. The interesting history and story blend beautifully.
