I couldn&#8217;t resist it. It is set in Old Town Albuquerque and involves ancient indian pottery, the University of New Mexico, and murder. I used to live in Albuquerque, got my first degree at UNM, and love Old Town. It is the mixture of the cheesy and the nice. Very very old adobe buildings, nice restaurants, lots of alleys and old streets. New Mexico has a charm to it that never leaves you.<\/p>\n<p>The book is about an Old Town pottery shop owner, Hubert Schuze, who has been known to go dig up pots illegally. He doesn&#8217;t much apologize for it. He is a laid back guy who has a wide variety of friends and enjoys life. He is accused of murder so he has to take matters into his own hands.<\/p>\n<p>Orenduff is a natural storyteller. This is one of those books where the writing is so smooth and the story so compelling that you stay up till midnight and then get surprised when you look at the clock.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, and it is on Amazon Kindle for less than $6.<\/p>\n<p>I give this book 3.5 stars out of five. This is the first of a series and I&#8217;m going to read the rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just finished this book. I couldn&#8217;t resist it.
