Tony Hillerman created the Navajo characters-- Leaphorn, Chee, and Manuelito. His daughter and New York Times bestselling author, Anne Hillerman's The Tale Teller is the fifth novel within the police procedural collection which has the same Navajo characters.
Set within the southwest United States, this tale is a mixture of mystery, crime, superstition and traditions during which legendary Navajo policeman Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn takes the center degree. Retired Navajo Tribal Police lieutenant Joe Leaphorn is improving from a gunshot damage in his head. When he's asked via his spouse Louisa Bourebonette's friend to help in an investigation, he agrees. He has to find a missing conventional dress which is donated to the Navajo nation and a silver bracelet-- each are regarded as to be priceless. His investigation turns sinister as one in every of his main suspect dies beneath mysterious cases; Leaphorn too receives anonymous warnings about witchcraft that can be practised.
Meanwhile, his former colleague Tribal Police officer Jim Chee and his wife Tribal Police officer Bernadette Manuelito are thinking about accumulating pieces of proof in opposition to a felony for burglaries. Their case turns unsightly when Bernadette reveals a useless body while jogging one morning; the demise is dominated a homicide and the case now involves the FBI making it more difficult. While Leaphorn, Bernie, and Chee are operating on separate circumstances, their investigations start to merge either in the main points in their circumstances or in theme.
Fans of the Leaphorn, Chee, and Manuelito collection wish to add this new ebook in their studying checklist.
How critics view the ebook:
Michael J. McCann writes for Nyjournalofbooks.com, "The Tale Teller is more than just a police procedural set in the Southwest, it’s a reading experience not to be missed. Anne Hillerman has reached a new level of storytelling in this one, and she deserves recognition as one of the finest mystery authors currently working in the genre."
Publishers Weekly writes, "Series fans not looking for dramatic momentum or a gripping plot will enjoy catching up with familiar characters, but predictability and lacklustre prose mar this instalment."
