A
couple of years ago, I wrote a blog about my love of Tony Hillerman’s series of
novels featuring two Navaho policemen, Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee.
Unfortunately, Hillerman passed away recently.
Never
fear, though, Leaphorn mysteries are not over. Anne Hillerman, Tony’s daughter,
is continuing the series. The books are
still very entertaining mysteries set in and around the Navaho Reservation, and
they are full of Navaho and Southwest culture.
The main difference is that Joe Leaphorn is kind of a minor character
now; the stories really focus on Jim Chee and his wife Bernadette
Manuelito.
If
you are a Tony Hillerman fan, I strongly suggest you continue reading Anne
Hillerman’s books.
