Hunting Badger

Joe Leaphorn/Jim Chee Mysteries, Book 14

De: Tony Hillerman

Narrado por: George Guidall

Tony Hillerman's best-selling reservation series occupies a unique place in the world of mystery novels. By combining Native American lore and history with suspenseful crime stories, he enlightens and entertains his many fans. Hunting Badger takes you to the Navajo reservation where police sergeant Jim Chee is facing a thorny dilemma. One year ago, Sgt. Chee was part of an FBI search for two cop killers. The men were never caught, and Chee has always blamed police rivalry for the failure. Now several commandos have robbed a casino on the Ute reservation. Police suspect they are hiding in the same area as the cop killers. Reluctantly, Chee joins the manhunt, with Joe Leaphorn by his side. The reunion of Chee and Leaphorn adds a warm touch to this thrilling fast-paced tale. Mounting danger and suspense surround the two lawmen and friends as they close in on their prey. Based on actual events, Hunting Badger is as colorful as a southwestern sunset, especially through George Guidall's sparkling narration.

Great Read

Tony Hillerman at his finest. Interesting characters, plot, circumstances. Weaving of Leaphorn’s retirement and Jim Chee’s personal and professional situations is well done. Only problem: I could have used at least another hour.

another great one

Hillerman comes through again. Leaphorn, Chee, and Manolitos relationship has come together in true Hillerman form. George Guildell is great

I wish it were longer!

Great Chee and Leaphorn story in classic Tony Hillerman fashion. I love all of these books.

The 3 main characters and the description of the area it occurs

I like the Tony Hillman stories and setting in his series. The characters are enjoyable and very human characters.

Sharply crafted exceptional Hilkerman book

One of Hilkerman’s best—clear plot line, well developed and growing character relationships, expertly woven role of Southwestern geography and Navajo way, great intersections of different indigenous tribal groups, differing law enforcement agents, and individuals within the story.

A decent Hillerman book

Not a stand out book in the series but no bad either. Good to see the Chee and Manolito characters grow a bit. The reader was excellent.

Love the Lore

I enjoyed the story and the connection with Officer Manualito!! The saga continues and I enjoy all of the stories!

Can't stop listening till the end

Rich characters, good plot. entertaining. Three different stories, Joe Leaphorm, Jim Cheese, and Bernadette Manuelito, three stories blended into one engaging plot. Leaves you searching for the next book as soon as possible.

Excellent story. Read this book years ago. Enjoyed listening to it so much. The performances was excellent.

Losing yourself in a story

I love the atmosphere created by Mr. Hillerman. I feel as though I’m right there with these people I’ve grown to admire and can’t wait to hear more of their stories.
