LoveReading Says
Simply written, an easy, comfortable read, gentle yet utterly absorbing and gripping in an unusual way. It is the latest in a series featuring Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, here very recently retired from the Navajo Tribal Police and it is steeped in Native American lore, myth and superstitions. As Harlan Coben says “If you’ve already read Tony Hillerman … you know how great this experience is going to be.
If you’re new to his work, well, I envy you.” I echo Coben’s words. Here is a series well worth becoming addicted to.
