Tony Hillerman's mysteries offer a combination of Native-American lore and intriguing crimes that has made each one an instant best-seller. A wealthy Washington businessman will do anything to protect a covert operation that earns him millions of dollars. But when his activities attract the attention of reservation police, his power becomes as unstable as the desert wind.

Somewhat different than the series

The book was excellent, but somewhat different than the other titles in the series. (I've read them all). It was more focused on other characters and less involved with the Indian culture. Still excellent and well worth the listen.

Good character development

Enjoyed the scenic descriptions, character development and flow of the plot provided not only by the writer's superb story development but also by the superb narration

Short But Sweet

One of the most satisfying books in the series. Not exactly stand alone as it's not padded with a lot of background. All the familiar characters come together for a satisfying conclusion. Provides some useful incite into the current politics of the war on drugs. Narration was superb!

Great

Great story, snd enough like “real life” to be interesting and scary. Really enjoy the main characters!

Another good Hillerman tale

The combination of Tony Hillerman and George Guidall is tough to beat. I’m rereading all the Hillerman Navajo stories and they seem even better the second time round.

Light Hillerman

Relatively light Leaphorn/Chee book with good character development. The main plot is rather slight, but still a decent read.

George Guidall is excellent as always.

Love Hillerman, but narrator?

The narrator absolutely ruins this book. I fought to even finish it. Get someone different.
