The southwest wind picked up turbulence around the San Francisco Peaks, howled across the emptiness of the Moenkopi plateau, and made a thousand strange sounds in windows of the old Hopi villages at Shongopovi and Second Mesa. Read the first page

Format:Mass Market Paperback
"Listening Woman" is typical Tony Hillerman: a thrilling adventure in Navajo country, told from a Navajo's point of view and written by one who knows the lingo. The book begins with the totally impossible and progresses to a satisfying grand finale that couldn't be topped by a hot celebration on the 4th of July!
The characters are so true to life, one is certain that some of them must surely be neighbors or their neighbors' children. The action never ceases, and the reader never stops loving Joe Leaphorn.

I find that many of the books I read are very predictable and that spoils the story. This book, however, kept me guessing. It was intriguing from the begining, with a mysterious murder, to the end, with the spoiling of a masterful criminal plot by the very likable Joe Leaphorn.

I strongly believe that Tony Hillerman uses setting in his books to entice readers into reading his books. LISTENING WOMAN happens to be one of the greatest books I have ever read. I learned so much about the land and the Navajo way of life. The strong use of setting really attracted my attention. - H. McIntosh, BDHS

A great cliff hanger
Joe Leaphorn can put the loose ends together even when no one else realizes there are loose ends. The story starts out with an old man being bludgeoned and later Leaphorn is... Read more
