The Skinwalkers (The Jim Chee series, Book 4) 1 review
Tony Hillerman
Recorded Books, LLC, 1990
"Sun will be created - They say he has planned it all."
Skinwalkers are witches in the Navaho legends and can fly or turn themselves into a dog or wolf. This mystery involves the conflict between Skinwalkers and shamen and belegana medicine. Then again it may be a straight forward set of independent murders. In any event it looks like some one is out to kill Navajo Tribal Police Officer Jim Chee and he has not got a clue as to why.
As with all of ...

It's an interesting mixture of the supernatural and crime drama. Every so often the story pauses for a cultural lesson and those are equally fascinating.

Iron Kissed (Mercy Thompson, Book 3)154 reviews
Patricia Briggs
Ace, 2008
Favorite Heroine
The third book of the Mercy Thompson series is probably the best so far, although I would be hard put to pick out a favorite book in the series. I'm just happy that the "love triangle" aspect of the book, which was always a background thing, has been resolved in such a way that no one is alienated or left out in the cold. Very nicely done.
This novel is so good, that I read it twice - after ...

Favorite Heroine in Urban Fantasy
"Moon Called" is an urban fantasy about Mercedes Thompson, known as Mercy to her friends. As a "walker" Mercy shape changes into a coyote, and has friends of an otherworldly nature. The world she inhabits has seen the fae come out of hiding, so the populace knows that there is a little bit of supernatural in the world, but people like her, the werewolves, and the vampires are all still in shadows ...

Tony Hillerman: The Leaphorn & Chee Novels : Skinwalkers, A Thief of Time, Coyote Waits3 reviews
Tony Hillerman, 2005
The Leaphorn & Chee Novels
I first read the Jim Chee Mysteries after spending quite some time in the Navajo reservations and Gallup. These stories (Leaphorn & Chee Novels) are every bit as evocative of the country and people of the Navajo nation. Hillermans descriptions easily transport me from a damp England to the smell and feel of the desert and canyons of the Big Reservation. That and his accurate desciption of the ...

The Shape Shifter 118 reviews
Tony Hillerman
HarperCollins, 2006
Not his best, but still worth the read
Gentle explorations into Navajo culture coexist with criminal brutality and meditations on retirement in this odd, but still satisfying, Hillerman novel. The story follows the multiple identities of a murderer, the shape shifter of the title, studied persistently by retired Joe Leaphorn, formerly of the Navajo Tribal Police. Subplots involving history as told in woven rugs, the homesickness of a ...

HarperCollins Publishers, 1986
Superb: A brilliant writer at his absolute best.
Oklahoma's own Tony Hillerman shines brightly with "Skinwalkers", the first of the Leaphorn/Chee mysteries to put the two characters together in the same book. One of the best novels from one of the most brilliant writers of the past 35 years. VERY highly recommended!

A Poltergeisty Bruja
Finished this book a few years back after hearing Colm Kelleher interviewed on Coast to Coast am. I can discern whether someone is being honest or not in their voices, the fluctuations in pitch and emotion during certain retellings of events, etc. and I could instantly tell these two dudes were telling the truth. Plus I've been to the Uinta Basin Ute Rez in Utah and I could feel some very ...
