I really enjoyed Hillerman's books decades ago, and decided to see if I still rate his work as high quality and compelling. Are they classics? Sadly, very few of these books remain on the shelves of KCLS -- many only as e-books. I didn't care for this FIRST book in the series, but expect Hillerman's later books will get better. In particular, I was annoyed by it's character Prof McKee, so I disliked the "McKee" chapters 13, 14, 16. I found McKee dull, immature, self-absorbed, illogical, with his judgment blocked by his self-esteem issues. I'm reading Book 4, the first book with the JIm Chee character, and really like it.
