New romantic intrigue with both Chee and Leaphorn. Another excellent read in this series!!

Loved the characters and the story. Keeps you guessing until the end. Love this area of the country and the details on the Native American culture.

Hillerman’s characters are well developed and interesting. Good plot line that exposes one to the Indian culture of the Southwest. Just enough underlying sexual tension to keep you guessing.
