Hunting Badger

I picked this up from one of the lending libraries in my neighborhood. When I lived in Albuquerque, my internship training director had recommended Hillerman's work as an interesting window into Southwestern culture. It certainly made me nostalgic for the Land of Enchantment! This is a pretty standard mystery in terms of plot and pacing, but the characters are interesting and funnily flawed, and Hillerman weaves a great deal of local tribal and political history into the finely-observed details. I'd definitely reach for another Hillerman next time I'm in the mood for a mystery.
