But why the attack on Chee? Slowly but surely, Leaphorn and Chee dig into the lives of the three victims, treading a dangerous tightrope of superstition and fear, until they uncover the truth. There have been three mysterious deaths, seemingly unlinked, on the reservation in the past few months but both Chee and his boss, Joe Leaphorn, are convinced somehow the deaths are all linked together. The book opens with three shots being blasted through the thin skin of Chee's trailer. SKINWALKERS, for those few of you who may not have read it, is the first of the Chee-Leaphorn mysteries, set on the Navajo reservation.
What if I HATE a book that is beloved by millions? Do I dare say that the emperor has no clothing from my line of sight? And just who am I to criticize Hillerman?įortunately, as I opened the book and started to read, I found myself beginning to understand the Hillerman phenomenon. Hillerman has legions of fans I am merely a novice novelist getting my start in the business. Having never read Tony Hillerman, but having read many reviews and interviews with him, I am familiar enough with his work to write about him, one would suppose, but at the same time, it is also daunting. Reviewing the first novel of an esteemed and respected author who has now published over seventeen books is a strange task particularly when the same novel has recently debuted as a miniseries on television.
