Secret of the Indian

Reviewed on 27th August 2023

It’s probably thirty years since I read this third book in the series and I had no memory at all of what happens.

The story follows on immediately from the events of book two - The Return of the Indian - and so really just feels like the second act, as Omri and Patrick work to fix some of the damage done which maintaining secrecy.

I actually thought it worked better than book two, with the peril feeling more real, and us getting some more characters - particularly female characters finally showing up with some agency and character of their own. But I don’t think it can work alone, and so the reader really does need to read both books together.
