“I'm a huge Hillerman fan, and enjoy everything he wrote. This probably plays better as an audiobook than a read. ”

“I'm a big fan of Tony Hillerman's writing and have thoroughly enjoyed the other Leaphorn/Chee books but this one just seemed to fall flat. At times it felt like the author copied and pasted entire sections leaving me frustrated and uninspired with most of the story. It just didn't feel like Hillerman's heart was in this one.”

“Tony Hillerman is always good for a casual mystery read for me; I enjoy the lore about the different Native American topics. His timing in this one confused me a bit, I had trouble with the placement of what was happening when at points.”

“Tony Hillerman always produces wonderful stories of suspense. The details of life on the Navajo reservation enrich the stories.”

“Hillerman with a new twist for Joe Leaphorn. It's great to visit with an old friend.”

Okay so Jim only made a token appearance along with his new bride the lovely Bernie Manualito, now Mrs Chee. In the mean time the Legendary Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn investigates the reappearance of a Spirit Rug that was thought to have been lost years before in a fire. While figuring out who did it was pretty easy the solution was still a bit of a surprise. All in all it was another enjoyable trip to the Big Res. It is one of my favorite parts of the country, and Hillerman captures it so well. I don't know how accurate his knowledge of the Navajo culture is but I do know that he is well respected by all of the Navajos that I have spoken to. I will continue to take a trip to visit with Jim Chee, Joe Leaphorn and the other Hillerman characters as long as he keeps telling their stories.”
“Another great suspenseful Joe Leaphorn mystery. Although retired the Navaho Tribal Police is haunted by an unsolved case that leads to a case deadly greed and shifting shapes and truths. Nearly impossible to put down.”
