“If you like Tony Hillerman's murder mysteries (based in and around Southwestern America First Nations reserves), you might enjoy this. It's ok - just not one of his best”

I've been addicted since I first found "The Blessing Way" ... and Hillerman's evocations of the Rez are so compelling, I became homesick for places I'd never been. So much so that I went to see for myself. Sadly, this Pac NW shiksa can't take all that sun and heat ... stepped out of the car at the Grand Canyon and could actually feel the moisture being sucked out of my body! So, vicariously, I trek the the mountains and canyons of the Four Corners with Chee, egged along by Leaphorn ... musing, taking a break to admire the view, listening ... and bagging the baddies along the way. Oh ... the story ... well, this guy leans out a little too far when he steps off to the side on a treacherous rock climb ... and almost joins the skeleton on the inaccessible ledge he sights below him ... an intact skeleton ... just laying there ... think about it.”
