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!

George Guidell and Tony Hillerman

One of my favorite combinations. My absolute favorite is George Guidell and Craig Johnson. This series is not far behind.

Wonderful, Albeit New Setting

Chief character is Bernie Manuelito, primary location is the line in the sand between Old Mexico and New Mexico. The perennial mystery of the siphoning off of billions of royalty dollars owed to tribes across the country leads to an enormous drug smuggling operation. It’s not comfortably on the Rez we are accustomed to but it illustrates Hillerman’s genius as a story-teller.

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.
