Stargazer is another detective novel by Anne Hillerman set on the Navajo Reservation. This one stars Bernadette Manuelito, a tribal policewoman, who gets involved in a murder case involving her old college roommate Maya and scientists doing research at the Very Large Array radio telescope (“That’s where Stargazer came from, get it.”) As in all the Hillerman books, Navajo tradition and the desert southwest are prominent in the story. Since Anne took over the series after her father Tony Hillerman died, she put more emphasis on the characters and the relationships between the characters. I kind of like that. Anne Hillerman has made the series her own.
I strongly recommend this book.
Definitely sounds like something I would enjoy reading. Thanks for the great review!
That’s really cool! I loved the father’s books. I must put this on my ToBeRead list!
Been there, read that, loved that!!! She (like her father before her) is one of the rare authors both Bill and I love! She is doing a great job. We visited the Large Array in NM on our travels, so that made it even better.
Alan – always looking for a good book. Thanks for the recommendation!
…I have heard about this writer, but have not read any of the books!
I loved Tony’s original books and have enjoyed Ann’s too – have to look this one up!
