Fiction. 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.… (more)

Listening Woman by Tony Hillerman (1978)

    Winds of Evil by Arthur William Upfield (danhammang)
    danhammang: Tony Hillerman eagerly speaks well of Upton's Napoleon Bonaparte novels, claiming them as his inspiration for his own Joe Leaphorn series. They both weave the beauty of their respective locales into the warp of their tales.

Another good mystery from Tony Hillerman. A blind woman is the key to missing money and hostages. ( )
  caanderson | Jan 8, 2024 |
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. ( )

It was an entertaining and quick read. there's the empathetic descriptions of Navajo culture and traditions. The TV series Dark Winds on AMC-- the first season of the series is based on Hillerman's LISTENING WOMAN, Chee does not appear in this one. ( )
  buffalogr | Jul 3, 2023 |
This is decidedly one of the author's better books, although none that I've read so far received less than three stars from me. I found this Leaphorn mystery gripping, suspenseful, and with many twisty canyons for the reader to follow. ( )

First words
The southwest wind picked up turbulence around the San Francisco Peaks, howled across the emptiness of the Moenkopi plateau, and made a thousand strange sounds in windows of the old Hopi villages at Shongopove and Second Mesa.
