4. Wish I could help, but it's been over 30 years since I read that one.

I got started on Hillerman in the early 80s, started reading his earliest books in order, and then stayed caught up with each subsequent book he wrote through all the years up to and including his final Leaphorn and Chee book which came out in 2006.

Personally, one of the things I always liked about Hillerman's Leaphorn/Chee books is that he left a little space for ambiguity. To me, that's what made his books so much more than ordinary whodunnits. The real question at the heart of each story is this: Will balance and harmony be restored?
