With Malice Toward All - Roger A. MacDonald, M.D. 192 Pages, Softcover, $14.00 Dr. Noka MacPherson, M.D. is a son of the Ojibwe Nation. He has nearly completed a residency in Family Practice when he returns to Makwa Lodge, a borderland resort owned by his brother, for a three-day respite from the stresses of training. Fate catapults him into a whirlpool of conflicting currents. A painful ghost from his own past. Traps set by a ruthless hired killer. Dark currents that challenge his very belief in family. The appearance of an Ojibwe ghoul, a windigo. Or, is it? Family Physician Dr. Roger MacDonald practiced rural medicine in the most northerly part of Minnesota for nearly fifty years. As an isolated doctor, he wore many hats, one of which was that of county coroner. During the latter third of the Twentieth Century, crime detection depended more on a perceptive team of officers than on laboratory science. Dr. MacDonald's intimate knowledge of how things worked then shines through in his stories. Writer's Digest Book Awards (comments on a scale of 1 - 5 with 1 meaning "poor" and 5 meaning "excellent") Plot: 5 Grammar: 5 Character development: 5 Cover design: 5 Judges commentary: What did you like best about this book? First off, the layout of the book is so professional-- a joy for the reader to make his way through the pages. The writing is exquisite and the author's voice unique. The author has a gift for putting words together. All setting descriptions, inside and out, are exceptionally well-done. The mystery is set in an unusual place that was fun to read about. All of the characters were three-dimensional and different. Fun to read about. The hero, Noka, wonderfully complex, was particularly intriguing, Indian, a medical doctor, intelligent and draws upon his culture for discernment. The dialogue was crisp, realistic, moved the plot along and revealed character. the solution of the mystery is completely satisfying. How can the author improve this book? I have no suggestions, but the book deserves a wide audience. Hopefully the writer will connect with writers groups in his area, give talks to libraries, social and service groups, book clubs and bookstores.
