I was recommended to read this series from a gentleman while I was visiting the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff during my archaeological field school. I wish I'd gotten the guy's name, because I would love to thank him for introducing me to this series. One reason I never read books about ...

With more and more reports of a ghost, or a Wolf Man raiding the cattle, rumors begin to fly and the case become...
I read this so long ago that a mimeograph didn't seem old school. I loved the descriptions of the scenery and the people. I also love how respectful the author is towards the native americans/first families. Great book!
One thing for this Holiday Book Bingo, it's had me looking beyond what I generally read. When I saw the square for Native American MC, my first thought was Moonlight Reader's review of this book. Despite the lowish rating, the series idea had stuck with me and finally I decided to take the plunge. ...
This is the first in Hillerman's long-running (as in 19 books & counting) series set in the four corners area of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado & Utah.

I did think it started out a bit slow though but about half way through it picked up the pace. The narration was done by the always excellent George ...
Not as good as A Thief Of Time, another Hillerman I have read. Still worth a read. This book features only Joe Leaphorn, and actually gives about half of the "screen time" to a guest character who probably isn't in any of the other Hillerman books. I won't say it's a mistake but I think this books m...
Some mysteries stand out because of an unforgettable character like Sherlock Holmes, or a distinct style like that of Chandler or mind-bending plots like that of Agatha Christie. In those areas, this novel was decent, but not impressive--what makes this novel stand out is setting. Published in 1970,...
wow but this is slow, maybe the series gets better later on. I'll skip a few numbers, however at this point, much prefer Anna Pigeon. "Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all." — Henry David Thoreau2* The Blessing WayTR The Fly on the Wall
