People of Darkness

De: Tony Hillerman

Narrado por: George Guidall

A dying man is murdered. A rich man's wife agrees to pay $3,000 for the return of a stolen box of rocks.

A series of odd, inexplicable events is haunting Sergeant Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police and drawing him alone into the Bad Country of the merciless Southwest, where nothing good can survive...including Chee. Because an assassin waits for him there, protecting a 30-year-old vision that greed has sired and blood has nourished. And only one man will walk away.

Great continuation of Hillerman's series

But what happened to Leaphorn? Why the change to Chee? Story's still good, though.

Extremely well written!!!

This was the best book I've listened to in a long time! Excellent story, writing, characters and narration. Extremely well written. Excited to listen to the next book in the series.

Great Story

Superb storytelling with an unusual cultural bent, in this case that of the Indians of the Southwest. Terrific narration keeps you fully engaged. Can't wait to listen to more of this series.

Excellent

Tony Hillman is the best - giving us excellent mysteries, an understanding of Navajo culture, love for the terrain and characters like Jim Chee. Perfect narration.

Easy Listening of a Great Story

For fans of detective stories, Tony Hillerman is a good listen. Intertwining the American Indian history, customs and beliefs make the stories excellent. It does not take long to become familiar and feel that you know Leaphorn & Chee characters.

George is the best!

I really enjoy this series so far. Thia is the 4th book, number 3 is not available on Audible, which is curious and disappointing. My only complaint: why does Chee run around without a handgun, when, first of all, he is a police officer and has the right to carry a weapon, but secondly, he knows there is a mad man out there hunting him? It's making me crazy. Seriously? Why does the author write such stupidity into his characters? 🤦🏻

The beautiful southwest; beautiful and dangerous

Simply an amazing novel! We were riveted as we listened. We are permanently hooked on this amazing author!

One of the best

People of Darkness is the first of the Chee novels and it is more character driven than the first three Leaphorn novels. It has a pretty good mystery, too, as well as the usual beautiful Southwestern settings and Navajo lore. Narrator Guidall is as good as ever.

Another success for Tony Hillerman

Fascinating story intertwining Navajo beliefs with a mystery story. Characters are believable. The love of the land is clearly evident.

These stories deserve a better narrator

I love these stories but this narrator has very little range. All of the female characters especially sound the same, in each story and from book to book.
