pickThis was great! But also quite sad- small spoilers in comment. I'm glad I picked this series up again. I read them long ago (I was in HS, I think) and I've always remembered liking them and, upon rereading a couple, I can say I very much enjoy Hillerman's writing and I like being in Joe Leaphorn's head.

Today I was, both physically and figuratively, in the Navajo Nation (reservation) and at Four Corners Monument. 🧡

pickI enjoy reading Tony Hillerman‘s novels because I have a deep appreciation for the Indigenous Peoples and their culture. Hunting Badger takes place mostly in the southern canyons of Utah. The robbery of a casino has retired Lieutenant Leaphorn involved with Navajo Police Officer Jim Chee along with the FBI searching for the thieves. The search turns deadly before the manhunt comes to an end. 4/5⭐️
pickOverall, I loved Race to the Sun. The characters were vibrant and fun. I loved learning about the Twin Heroes and the Trials. It was an amazing journey, and I was disappointed when it ended with a proper wrap-up. There were lots of unanswered questions. However, I still gave it 5 stars because I loved it so much. (I am catching up on January books)

pickThis novel is set in the four corners region and on the Navajo Nation. The main characters are Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn and Officer Jim Chee. Navajo Police Officer Delbert Nez is killed. While searching for the murderer, lots of corruption is discovered. Leaphorn & Chee won‘t stop until they solve the crime. The Navajo lifestyle is always present and explained to those who desire knowledge of life of Indigenous peoples. 4/5
