Customer Reviews

Cultural literacy thriller.

This book starts with lots of superfluous description of people and places that never ties up or are relevant to the tale. The story takes quite a bit of time to get off the ground. The storyline is textbook predictable. You know who the bad guy(s) are before they are introduced. As they say in the trade, "it is the last person you would suspect." Now for the positives. After a slow start, the action finally starts to move. If you think it has holes that you could fly a jet through, maybe, but if it did not, you would have no story. One thing people enjoy in books is things they already know about. With Tony Hillerman, it is Navajo culture. With Stephen King, it is spookiness based on standard premises. This book also bases its suspense on existing conspiracies, weaving current events into age-old mysteries.
