Breezy reads for late summer

The third in the series about Georgia O’Keeffe as an amateur sleuth, A Slant of Light (Kathryn Lasky, Severn House, 2025, 192 pages, $29.99) is more harsh than the previous books. When a beloved priest is murdered, the search for a reason as well as the culprit leads to a nearby “school” for Native American children. All that we now know of such institutions is clearly and horrifyingly delineated. Interwoven in the tale is the development of Opus Dei, Father Coughlin, Nazis and spies. Georgia’s personal life takes on a new aspect with her taking in a child! The story moves at a fast pace, and the characters are well developed.
