George Guidell and Tony Hillerman

One of my favorite combinations. My absolute favorite is George Guidell and Craig Johnson. This series is not far behind.

Somewhat different than the series

The book was excellent, but somewhat different than the other titles in the series. (I've read them all). It was more focused on other characters and less involved with the Indian culture. Still excellent and well worth the listen.

Short But Sweet

One of the most satisfying books in the series. Not exactly stand alone as it's not padded with a lot of background. All the familiar characters come together for a satisfying conclusion. Provides some useful incite into the current politics of the war on drugs. Narration was superb!

Another good Hillerman tale

The combination of Tony Hillerman and George Guidall is tough to beat. I’m rereading all the Hillerman Navajo stories and they seem even better the second time round.

Thoroughly Enjoyed this Tale

Leaphorn, Chee, and Burnie all present in a sinister story. Cowboy DeShey also lends a hand. The narration fit this book perfectly. A great read.

Light Hillerman

Relatively light Leaphorn/Chee book with good character development. The main plot is rather slight, but still a decent read.

George Guidall is excellent as always.
