While I enjoyed this mystery thriller featuring Jim Chee, I found the solution fairly easy to figure out long before Chee did. ( )

The Dark Wind is an excellent suspenseful story. Jim Chee's slow, but thorough investigation once again pays off in discovering who was murdered and who did it. The setting is well described. The characters are all believable. This book is highly recommended and deserves the four stars in this review. ( )

Good story, with enough twists so I wasn't able to guess who really "dun it" until close to the end. I appreciate that this author doesn't give really graphic descriptions, too. ( )
