Thanks to Dark Winds I have Joe Leaphorn, Jim Chee and Bernadette Manuelito back in my life. This season looks excellent! Next episode can’t come soon enough, Bernie is still giving Jim the cold shoulder and I’m living!

Dark Winds is a fail. As much as I like Zahn McClarnon, and am sure he could play book Leaphorn well, these characters are totally nothing like Leaphorn and Chee from the books they’re basically original characters.

The Tale Teller
Finished reading (aloud, to my spouse,) “The Tale Teller” by Anne Hillerman. Fifth in the Leaphorn, Chee, and Manuelito series.
A potentially priceless artifact, an anonymous donation to the Navajo Nation Museum has, possibly, gone missing. Joe Leaphorn, the former legendary Lieutenant, now working as a private investigator, has been asked to look into the problem. Was it donated? Has it gone missing?
Officer Bernie Manuelito really would like a day off, but when a dead body shows up in the middle of her running, it’s not going to be today. When she hears about someone selling stolen goods at a local flea market, it’s not going to be tomorrow, either.
Her husband, Sergeant Jim Chee, has been asked to help investigate a string of burglaries in Chinle, burglaries that seem almost supernaturally targeted.
Do these cases tie together? If so, how so?
This was an excellent read, for characterizations, for history, for the prose painting the beauty of the land in the desert Southwest. Also, to my own personal tastes, seeing the delights Bernie and Jim take in being happily married to each other.
I generally don’t recommend extensions to other writers’ series (the estate approved additions to the Nero Wolfe corpus, for instance, while okay mysteries were absolutely NOT Nero Wolfe stories,) but Ms. Hillerman’s continuation of her father’s work is just stellar. She’s made the series its own, while underscoring and highlighting what it was about her father’s writing that appealed to me.
Highly recommended.
