I loved Tony Hillerman's books and Anne Hillerman is doing a fine job of honoring that tradition.  All the characters are true to the originals and the storylines are satisfyingly intricate.  This is a great read.

Hillerman has continued her father's writing legacy. The story is immensely rich in the history and culture of native New Mexico while providing a page-turning mystery.

The story, writing style of AnneHillerman, daughter of Tony Hillerman takes off right where Tony left the last story. True to her fathers legacy and spirit, Anne Hillerman succeeds in picking up the Leaphorn and Chee storyline and makes it her own. I was not disappointed for one moment and read it from cover to cover like savoring a rare treat. Can't wait for the next one! Tony is smiling down from above knowing his favorite Navajo characters are in the right hands of his daughter who will pass on these unique stories based on the great Navajo people on the big reservation.

Following in her father's foot steps, Anne Hillerman carries on.  Know more about Bernie is great and everyone else is there as well - nothing lost and a great story.

Ms. Hillerman did a wonderful job of picking up where her Father halted.  I was concerned I wouldn't get the same mental images from her writing.  She came through with wonderful imagery & kept the story intriguing.  It was wonderful that Lt. Leaphorn, Chee & Bernie were all there!

Anne Hillerman continues the Joe Leaphorn/Jim Chee series her father is famous for. This book features Bernie Manuelito, Navajo tribe officer and wife of Jim Chee. Joe Leaphorn gets shot and she and Jim investigate to find the shooter while Leaphorn lies in critical condition in a Santa Fe hospital. Hillerman interweaves Navajo and other Native American traditions and customs as well as New Mexico landmarks in the story. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

Excellent, excellent, excellent!  This is the first book I have read by Hillerman and it was wonderful!  I will be reading the entire series! Beautifully narrated, very illustrative of the Navajo culture and the geography of the Southwest.  I highly recommend this book!!

So glad that Tony's daughter Anne has taken up the pen to continue the lives of Jim Chee and wife Police Officer Bernadette Manuelito, as well as aging Leaphorn, from whom much is still to be learned.  This book, with its own voice and style (reminiscent, though, of Tony H), develops all the characters well.  It builds on "the old Tony Hillerman book, A Thief of Time," so it is worth rereading that one before wading into this fine detective mystery.

Anne has kept the Navajo Mysteries continuing. The characters are as rich and complex as they have ever been, with new mysteries and stories. As a fan of the Tony Hillerman serie I am delighted.

Anne carries on the mantle of her Father's work. But this is a non-fiction book by her regarding the landscape and cultures depicted in Tony Hillerman's Navajo mystery series.

Excellent mystery with a heart.  Characters warm and well developed.  Beautiful setting with all of its glorious and mystical beauty.  Anne Hillerman is not walking in her father's footsteps, rather she is creating her own right beside him.

Anne Hilleman is a chip off of Dad Tonys block.  She continues the saga of Chee, Bernie and Legendary Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn.
I love the Southwest.  Anne does a masterful job of weaving the land and the people into the story.. The Navajo way.

Anne Hillerman (Tony's daughter) continues the series, with the now-married Jim Chee and Bernie Manuelito taking the lead. There is more from Bernie's wonderful mind, which I love. Already bought another book!

I'm really enjoying the Thurlo's novels.  Since I'm a Hillerman fan, I'm taken back to my New Mexico stomping grounds and memories.  I can smell the fry bread and green chili, even as I write this.  The main characters are well formed, but I wish I had begun reading from the first novel.  Each one progresses, so it's best that way.

Where do I begin? I want to give this book a complete and honest review; as this book certainly is deserving.
I loved reading this story. What an accomplishment.
At first, I thought it might be rather mundane to read about someone hiking, day after day! Wrong. I found myself reading until I fell asleep, not wanting to put the book down. The day I finished the book, I had several errands to do. But I was getting quite annoyed that each task was taking so long. I just wanted to go back home and finish this book. I was as excited as Theresa was to reach her destination. Well, almost!
Although I am not an avid reader and I certainly have never had an interest in hiking, this book was a treat to read. You will find this book to be honest, funny, delightful and most of all, inspirational.

If you enjoyed Tony Hillerman's books you should read this one. It is a seamless continuation of his Chee and Leaphorn stories, a very entertaining read. I am looking forward to reading more stories by Anne Hillerman.

Excellent book, the first one wherein Anne Hillerman takes up the pen of her late father.  Fans of the great Tony Hillerman will not be disappointed in the least.  A great job!!  One hopes she will continue with the series!!
