Publisher's summary

A Native American working on his PhD. A cop blinded in the line of duty. A chic resort's only hope to stop a killer cold in his tracks.  

Once a land of Pueblo dwellers, the town of San Geronimo Peak, New Mexico, is prime ski country. PI Howard Moon Deer and ex-cop Jack Wilder are headed there to meet their first client - a former US senator and the ski slope's owner. Instead, they find his body - and a murder case to solve.  

Overrun with pleasure-seekers, plunderers, and fanatics, San Geronimo has no shortage of suspects. But investigating the senator's two very different daughters, his political enemies, and his complex business dealings leads only to false clues. 

Then the senator's granddaughter is kidnapped - and the new detectives are plunged into a dangerous race for a little girl's life...and for their own.

Good grief!

I have read and re-read both Tony's and Anne Hillerman's Navajo detective series featuring Leaphorn, Chee, and Manuelito. I love those books. I am such a fan of those stories that I own them in hardback and on Audible. So when Audible recommended Ghost Dancer by Robert Westbrook, I bought it on Audible for listening. I wish that I had not. It is trash. I will never waste my money on another of Westbrook's books. Period.

Disappointing

I have been a member of Audible for over a decade and this is the worst book I have purchased. I am not a political person and I listen to Audible’s books for entertainment. Sadly this book is written to push a political opinion and view. It was disguised as a mystery novel. I wanted to listen to a good mystery not be lectured on politics.

Matter of fact, using tired sex in vain effort to gain traction. I wasted a credit.

Terrible! Awful! Worst book ever!

Bad enough that he used one of Hillerman's titles he also used character names. It starts out ok but just goes downhill from there. Ridiculous. What abortion Dr. would take their 5 year old to work with them past chanting protesters?

Tiresome..

I read fiction for enjoyment. I don't enjoy political opinion and snarky stereotyping. This will be the last book I read by Robert Westbrook.

Knockers and phallic Freudian trees

This book is a flashback to 1990s. Most was fine but I couldn’t get over the sex obsessed main character and his creepy commentary on women.

I didn’t finish the book. When he started seeing a child’s drawings as phallic, I gave up on caring about the plot.

Begins with sex and swearing

I didn’t get past the first 5 minutes. A novel that starts with adultery on top of a snow covered mountain and murder in the first 10 minutes isn’t worth reading

Ghost dancer

The book kept you guessing all the way through and the narrator was excellent, the plot was different, not something that I would’ve thought of

Nice Opener

This was an enjoyable listen with an interesting main character. I will probably listen to another in the series.

Great for a long drive!

I enjoyed the book and the turns in the plot. I’ll likely try another in the series.
