Amazon Best Mystery of 2015

Navajo Tribal cops Jim Chee and Bernadette Manuelito, and their mentor, the legendary Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, investigate two perplexing cases in this exciting Southwestern mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of Spider Woman’s Daughter.

Doing a good deed for a relative offers the perfect opportunity for Sergeant Jim Chee and his wife, Officer Bernie Manuelito, to get away from the daily grind of police work. But two cases will call them back from their short vacation and separate them—one near Shiprock, and the other at iconic Monument Valley.

Chee follows a series of seemingly random and cryptic clues that lead to a missing woman, a coldblooded thug, and a mysterious mound of dirt and rocks that could be a gravesite. Bernie has her hands full managing the fallout from a drug bust gone wrong, uncovering the origins of a fire in the middle of nowhere, and looking into an ambitious solar energy development with long-ranging consequences for Navajo land.

Under the guidance of their mentor, retired Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, Bernie and Chee will navigate unexpected obstacles and confront the greatest challenge yet to their skills, commitment, and courage.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Hillerman uses the southwestern setting as effectively as her late father did while skillfully combining Native American lore with present-day social issues.” (Publishers Weekly)

Advance Praise for Rock With Wings “With a background of tribal law and custom, Anne Hillerman ties up multiple subplots in concise prose, evoking the beauty of the desert and building suspense to a perilous climax. Tony would be proud.” (Booklist)

The Bike Nerd

A pleasant read, but a disappointing plot.

May 16, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I'm of two minds on this book. I believe that Anne Hillerman has really captured the flavor and characteristics of her father's characters. Changing the character focus from Leaphorn and Chee to Bernie makes good sense, and Bernie's character is well-developed and continues to develop. The focus on Bernie's mother and sister is an effective vehicle for bringing out the character's thoughts and feelings. Necessarily, Chee and Leaphorn are less-well drawn, but avid readers will still be able to accept them.

My major problem is with plot and craftsmanship. Unlike "Spider Woman's Daughter" that had an intricate and well-evolved plot, the plot line in "Rock with Wings" was never really that well developed. The lead-off character with his box of dirt was a MacGuffin for the most part; and the "bad man" behind it all was only portrayed as "bad" in the closing scenes. The plot device of the grave in Monument Valley didn't work for me, as it was a lot of work to build it up to be a controversial and critical component of the story, and then it actually had little or nothing to do with the main plot line in the end. Linking the two issues of the gravesite and the solar panels through the cheezy developer/producer was very weak, especially when it was totally undeveloped except by a passing reference. And finally, the "conversion" of the lead-off character from bad-guy to guy-who-wants-to-go-straight was almost childish.

Overall I give this an "average" rating. I enjoyed the writing and the characters as sketched from Tony Hillerman's book, the writing style is very similar and comfortable. As a "who dunnit" though, it really isn't that suspenseful or challenging a story.

As happy as I was to find out the Leaphorn/Chee/Manuelito saga ...

June 8, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

As happy as I was to find out the Leaphorn/Chee/Manuelito saga would continue, I'm nevertheless disappointed in the books. There are twists in the plots, but they often make no sense. In this second one, there is very little tension and the cast of characters is neither compelling or convincing. Their motivations seem to come out of left field and the obligatory Bernie-in-danger ending seemed laughable. The only good thing about the books was returning to Leaphorn land, but even that seemed flattened and predictable as if a formula were being followed rather than a true connection between the author and the characters and the landscape. I think the author should let these characters end their saga and develop her own reality so that what she writes will be more compelling.

Disappointing second novel

October 8, 2016

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have just recently read all of Tony's books and the first Anne H. book. I really liked her first novel, Spider Woman's Daughter. For me it was within the same style and pacing as Tony's. Unfortunately, she decided to change her style to something I don't like. For one thing, the first real crime doesn't happen until about 100 pages in. By this time, it just didn't seem to be a big deal so it's ho-hum the rest of the way through. Also, there were two separate stories which went back & forth, back & forth, back & forth. It totally ruined any suspension which there was already little of. I like the Bernie and Jim Chee characters however, I think there was too much of Bernie's family problems in this book. It seemed like a lot of filler for what was already a skimpy story. It's not that I don't want to hear about the background family stuff, it was just too, too much. I also like how Joe L. is still able to inject his smarts into the case. I think the author must be experimenting with going off into her own style, but this just won't work with me.

Not for Tony's Fans

September 14, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

If you never read and loved Tony Hillerman, you'll likely feel differently. But Anne's treatment of her father's characters is not very palatable to Tony's fans. Anne turns Bernie into a nasty shrew, and her mother into a genuine harpy, constantly criticizing and ridiculing Chee, Chee is transformed from a smart and wily investigator who sometimes encounters bad luck into a bumbling incompetent who needs to be saved by Bernie at every wrong turn, which is every turn Chee takes. Leaphorn is now a semi-senile invalid lost in the past. The plots are now soap opera episodes about Bernie's dysfunctional, stereotypical, and downright boring family. If you enjoy reading four-page descriptions of making fry bread, and melodrama of the good-girl-led-astray-by-bad-boy sort, you'll love this book. To me, it was like seeing old friends slandered in a tabloid.

Close, but no cigar.

May 13, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Maybe it's just me, but I've read every one of Tony Hillerman's novels, as well as the first one in this continuation series. This second one in the series was very slow to get off the ground with, I thought, the author getting distracted by too many side-stories. Not particularly satisfying.

Hasn't peaked yet

May 15, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Anne Hillerman is to be saluted for carrying forward the excellent characters developed by her late father -- Joe Leaphorn, Jim Chee, and Ms. Manuelito. But after reading so many Hillermans, one absolutely knows Jim or his police officer wife are going to get in trouble by not having a firearm handy while doing police business. One knows the villain is going to be some polished white guy. And it takes a long time to get to the end. However, I have seen other authors step into a parent's shoes and eventually fill them very better than the parent did. This is only the second book since she took the helm, and I'm going to buy the third to see if she gets less predictable and livelier.
