Reviews:
NinaBryna (Israel) (2011/04/08): I liked the book very much. I had some Navaho (Dineh) friends in the U.S., and Hillerman's books are not hoked up and very well informed. It was nice and suspenseful until the denoueument, and the touches of humor were an added benefit. This was my first Hillerman and I am working my way through the series, Recommended highly.
