4 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
Amazon Best Mystery of 2015 Navajo Tribal cops Jim Chee and Bernadette Manuelito, and their mentor, the legendary Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, investigate two perplexing cases in this exciting Southwestern mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of Spider Womans Daughter. Doing a good deed for a relative offers the perfect opportunity for Sergeant Jim Chee and his wife, Officer Bernie Manuelito, to get away from the daily grind of police work. But two cases will call them back from their short vacation and separate themone near Shiprock, and the other at iconic Monument Valley. Chee follows a series of seemingly random and cryptic clues that lead to a missing woman, a coldblooded thug, and a mysterious mound of dirt and rocks that could be a gravesite. Bernie has her hands full managing the fallout from a drug bust gone wrong, uncovering the origins of a fire in the middle of nowhere, and looking into an ambitious solar energy development with long-ranging consequences for Navajo land. Under the guidance of their mentor, retired Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, Bernie and Chee will navigate unexpected obstacles and confront the greatest challenge yet to their skills, commitment, and courage.

Officer Bernadette Manuelito had been sitting in her unit by the side of the road for an hour, watching the last of the twilight fade and the pinpoints of stars in the blue-gray sky.
Quite a long opening sentence!

I'm pretty sure I read all of Tony Hillerman's fiction when he was alive, and I've read Anne's first three books that pick up where her dad left off (though, I switched #3 and #2). Both authors wrote/write skillfully. The characters are well-developed, and the stories are layered and complex. I'm looking forward to reading Anne's 4th installment (released this past spring).

CaitZ I agree. I love the way she has brought Bernie to the forefront while still keeping the flavor of her Dad's books. 6y
