Customer Reviews

Southern New Mexico mystery

I enjoyed the character development and understanding of the setting by the author. The mystery was well told and believable. I have "met" some of these characters types here in New Mexico. Enjoyed the book and am looking forward to reading another one I ordered at the same time.

Not up to the standards of later Gastner mysteries

Having read several of the later Undersherrif Bill Gastner mysteries I found myself a little torn with this one. I love the character of Bill Gastner. The characters in this series are particularly well-developed and realistic. The procedures in this book are thorough and seemingly well-depicted (I'm not a police officer but it seemed pretty kosher to me) except for one very large hole in the way the investigation developed - a whole line of investigation was ignored that seemed obvious to me. This hurt the integrity of the book in my eyes but I still give it 4 stars. If you are a fan of Tony Hillerman's Navajo Tribal Police books you should check out this series.
