Review
Comment: If you're looking for a thrilling, page turning, heart pounding
adventure - move on; but if you're in the market for a thoughtful mystery
set in a stunning location look no further. I think I would have
enjoyed
Skeleton Man wherever and however I'd read it, but it's quite possible that
I particularly enjoyed it because I listened to most of it on a long solo
car journey with absolutely no distractions, so I could take in every
mellow, gravelly word read by George Guidall.
This
series began way back in 1970 with The Blessing Way, starring Joe
Leaphorn. In 1980 Hillerman introduced Jim Chee in People of
Darkness; and in 1986 he brought his two characters together in Skinwalkers.
Thirty-four years after the first book,...
