Includes The Blessing Way and Dance Hall of the Dead Picked this up after watching a few episodes of Dark Winds and learning the author was considered a friend of the Navajo people. The native american angle for once feels like it has some depth, and describes cultural ideas and traditions that are just missing in other books (like how every indian in the Longmire series of books is a giant and laconic with vague unspecified spiritual beliefs). It's a bit of a time capsule being written in the 70s, but it's entertaining, has interesting characters and some very vivid descriptions of the arid landscape.

Mystery.
The blind shaman called Listening Woman speaks of witches and restless spirits, of supernatural evil unleashed. But Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn of the Navajo Tribal Police is sure the monster who savagely slaughtered an old man and a teenage girl was human. The solution to a horrific crime is buried somewhere in a dead man's secrets and in the shocking events of a hundred years past. To ignore the warnings of a venerable seer, however, might be reckless foolishness when Leaphorn's investigation leads him farther away from the comprehensible - and closer to the most brutally violent confrontation of his career.
