5.0 out of 5 stars Hillerman in one of his bests!, 1 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Talking God (Jim Chee Novels) (Paperback)
. Talking God by Tony Hillerman In this, the ninth Joe Leaphorn/Jim Chee mystery, Tony Hillerman moves outside his favored Navajo nation to the streets and museums of Washington DC. In "Talking God," Hillerman's police duo combine their skills once more for a riveting Hillerman police procedural. Both men are pursuing different crimes, and both end up in the nation's capital in an exciting run. Chee is in Washington to arrest Henry Highhawk, a Smithsonian curator and native American, for plundering the bones of their ancestors; Leaphorn is looking for the identity of a murder victim. As always, Hillerman provides much local color, culture, and socio/economic dynamics of the Navajos, many of whom are grasping quite desperately at maintaining a balance between their history and the present day sets of values. At the same time,"Talking God" is a compelling, gripping read in true Hillerman fashion.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book accurately depicts geographical Navajoland., 23 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Talking God (Jim Chee Novels) (Paperback)
For five years I lived in the area depicted by Mr.Hellerman, and found that his descriptions of the Navajo reservation land were so accurate that, in my mind, I could re-drive dusty roads with his characters. My family could recall every detail of his descriptions and attest to the cultural accuracy of his setting. Although riviting, readers should not evaluate this novel by plot alone. This fictional (?) story existed in a real time and place. This book had a profound effect on me, as it was read aloud to me while I was in a coma! It brought together two of the most profoundly spiritual peek-experiences in my life. What other murder-mystery can boast of producing such meaningful affect?

3.0 out of 5 stars Good mystery., 23 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Talking God (Jim Chee Novels) (Paperback)
This is a very good mystery, even if it is a little slow moving. It is really cool the way the bad guy kills the other guy. I've heard other Tony Hillerman books are better (and more fast paced and exciting).

4.0 out of 5 stars It was a creative plot with some poor writting techniques
It was ok but I liked some of his other books better.
Published on 6 Jun 1998

1.0 out of 5 stars don't like the ending of the book
The ending are too obvious because every bad guy turned out to get caught by the good guy. I think the author should make it more realistic. Read more
