pickA very satisfying read. Leaphorn and Manuelito are working on 2 different cases. A woman has disappeared for a few weeks, then there is an explosion at the school where she worked and a body is discovered. Leaphorn is trying to discover where a “lost bird” came from.

I'm in Albuquerque with a crime scene photographer (and a graphic description of a gruesome death)

I picked this book up for the #dogtags prompt in #ISpyBingo
Glad I did, it's excellent so far and also filled a #WickedWords prompt.

pickStill needing a book set in #NewMexico for this year, I jumped into this supernatural thriller. Forensics photographer Rita Todacheene shares a talent for photography with both her grandmother and mother. But Rita‘s eyes capture more than film can… she sees ghosts. While some are benign, the book‘s opening and brutal crime scene comes with a ghost desperate for justice. With cinematic flair, this makes for an exciting debut to a new series!
I chose two books set mostly in the Pacific theater of WWII. It‘s been a long time since I read Code Talker, but I remember it being a fantastic book about the Navajo code talkers that served in the U.S. military. Grenade is told from the alternating perspectives of a Japanese teenager and a young U.S. Marine during the Battle of Okinawa.

pickThis is how a historical fiction novel should be written. I loved hearing more about WWII Navajo Code Talkers. Dates and historical events were accurate and I liked that this was told as a grandfather sharing his story and wisdom with his grandchildren.

pickI think this is Anne Hillerman's best so far. But I really want to see more of Chee who seems very over-looked since the author took over the series from her dad, Tony Hillerman at his passing.
