Can I get some thoughts from Tony Hillerman fans? (Spoiler alert) [View all]

I've been reading '3 Classic Joe Leaphorn Mysteries' by Tony Hillerman. I decided that these would be a good introduction to Joe Leaphorn. Three mysteries in one volume. I finished "The Blessing Way", and enjoyed it very much. I finished "Dance Hall of the Dead", and though I liked most of it, I think the ending went over my head. Hillerman fans correct me if I'm wrong. The killer (Reynolds) was, in turn, killed by three unknown Zunis(?). Was Reynolds killed because these 3 Zunis somehow discovered that he murdered the Zuni teenager? Or was it because of the Zuni religious sacrilege? Both reasons? I hate endings that leave it up to the reader to guess what happened. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Started "Listening Woman". I hope it has a good ending.
