Anne Hillerman
Anne Hillerman, the talented daughter of best-selling author Tony Hillerman, continues his popular Leaphorn and Chee series with Spider Woman's Daughter, a Navajo Country mystery, filled with captivating lore, startling suspense, bold new characters, vivid color, and rich Southwestern atmosphere.
Navajo Nation Police Officer Bernadette Manualito witnesses the cold-blooded shooting of someone very close to her. With the victim fighting for his life, the entire squad and the local FBI office are hell-bent on catching the gunman. Bernie, too, wants in on the investigation, despite regulations forbidding eyewitness involvement. But that doesn't mean she's going to sit idly by, especially when her husband, Sergeant Jim Chee, is in charge of finding the shooter.
Bernie and Chee discover that a cold case involving his former boss and partner, retired Inspector Joe Leaphorn, may hold the key. Digging into the old investigation, husband and wife find themselves inching closer to the truth...and closer to a killer determined to prevent justice from taking its course.

The talent of the narrator brings each character to life. Her dialect is as I recall from my friendships with the Navajo I went to school with a long time ago.
The author has carried Tony Hillerman's gift forward and brought her own insight into the development of the characters of Jim Chee and Bernadette Manuelito. She has done well.
Great story

If you could sum up Spider Woman's Daughter in three words, what would they be?
Anne is taking her father's characters in a direction all her own in a good way. Readers still get Jim Chee, Bernie and Leaphorn with Tony's daughter at the helm with her own direction which is a great fit.How did the narrator detract from the book?
Christina Delaine sounds identical to Siri. Her take on a Navajo accent would prevent me from pursuing further Anne Hillerman audible products.A good direction.

Ridiculous Lothrio FBI agent.
Villain that dialogs her crime and motivation in detail when she has the heros tied up (really).
Bernie is the primary character but portrayed as a wimp with a lot of self doubt that she successfully overcomes. I don't think this is consistent with the much stronger Bernie developed in prior stories. Really did not like her as a hand wringing wimp early in the story. Yes she overcomes her self doubt, just don't think she would have started off there.
All in all disappointing but I will give Anne at least one more shot at growing into her Dads legacy. I still love the characters and it was good to see them again.
Disappointing but not awful

Would you consider the audio edition of Spider Woman's Daughter to be better than the print version?
NoWhat other book might you compare Spider Woman's Daughter to and why?
Any of Tony HillermansHow could the performance have been better?
Stop trying so hard for different character voices. It was painful to listen to at timesAny additional comments?
Am glad the series is being continued-and well also. But, please reconsider the reader. I understand this book is from a woman's perspective and "should" have a woman reading it-just not this one.No George Guidall

What did you love best about Spider Woman's Daughter?
Anne Hillerman did a very credible job in furthering the Joe Leaphorn series. The interweaving of the strands of Navajo heritage, native American antiquities, and a state of the art crime thriller came together well.Who was your favorite character and why?
Joe Leaphorn has always been my favorite Hillerman character. However, in this writing and given the circumstances of the plot, Bernadette and Jim clearly evolved as true crime fighters and major charactersWhat aspect of Christina Delaine’s performance would you have changed?
Previous reviewers seemed to be pretty hard on this narrator. I have to admit that in the early portions of her narration it was difficult for me to really appreciate Christina's role in portraying the various characters. However, I told myself that the Hillerman brand is worth the time to give Christina's efforts my attention and, in the end, I wasn't disappointed. Christina's narration became more realistic and enjoyable as the book progresses and it was unfair to assess her portrayal of Hillerman's characters in the shadow of George Guidall. Christina did an excellent job overall and I look forward to her future collaborations with Anne Hillerman in keeping the Leaphorn, Chee, and, now, Manuelito adventures alive.Any additional comments?
I'm looking forward to more of Hillerman and Delaine collaboration in the series.Don't be so hard on the narrator. I'd like more!
