About this listen

From New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman comes another riveting mystery featuring Leaphorn & Chee who must solve the murder of a Navajo tribal policeman and figure out how this crime is connected to a historical discovery and a missing fortune.

“Bolt the door, disconnect the phone, and declare yourself off limits.... Coyote Waits is a real confounder, not at all what you expected.”—Denver Post

The car fire didn’t kill Navajo Tribal Policeman Delbert Nez—a bullet did. And the old man in possession of the murder weapon is a whiskey-soaked shaman named Ashie Pinto. Officer Jim Chee is devastated by the slaying of his good friend Del and confounded by the prime suspect’s refusal to utter a single word of confession or denial. Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn believes there is much more to this outrage than what appears on the surface as he and Jim Chee set out to unravel a complex weave of greed and death that involves a historical find and a lost fortune. But the hungry and mythical trickster Coyote is waiting, as always, in the shadows to add a strange and deadly new twist.

I love all things Tony Hillerman, well done!

I lived in south east Utah for almost 2 decades. Hillerman paints a picture of the high desert like no other. I can close my eyes and see the clouds and mountains of the land I love so much!

Wonderful

once again another great story and well read. The storyline is captivating and the narrator is fantastic.
I've been listening to this entire series and truly love it.
I have also been relistening to the stories and learning new and interesting details that I had missed the first time.

Just OK

Not his best story. But it did introduce a new character and I’m sure we’ll see more of her

The atmosphere that Mr.Holler man creates

I liked the characters, the romance, the mystery, the teaching about other cultures devoid of prejudice, and I dislike that every story has to end.

Explanation of Navajo mysticism

I love how Navajo history and mysticism is woven into the stories and the descriptions of the physical world they live in.

NARRATION EXCELLENT.

LOVE THIS PLOT AND PAIRING OF LEAPHORN & CHEE. Highly recommend. Hillerman's introduction of what would become highly popular Navajo legends.

Surprise Ending

It’s been years since I read this book even so, I was embarrassed to realize I didn’t remember the slightest details. I was at the edge of my seat trying to figure out how Chee and Leaphorn were going to solve this mystery. I was absolutely surprised and delighted with the end of the story. I enjoy the narrators subtle voice changes for each character.

George Guidall is usually my favorite

But he must have been experiencing voice problems here. Sometimes like a low growl and difficult to make out words.
