What begins as a typical day for Officer Bernadette Manuelito - serving a bench warrant, dealing with a herd of cattle obstructing traffic, and stumbling across a crime scene - takes an unexpected twist when she’s called to help find an old friend. Years ago, Bernie and Maya were roommates, but time and Maya’s struggles with addiction drove them apart. Now Maya’s brother asks Bernie to find out what happened to his sister. Tracing Maya’s whereabouts, Bernie learns that her old friend had confessed to the murder of her estranged husband, a prominent astronomer.

Wrong reader for story
Revisado: 09-19-21
I am a fan of Anne Hillerman but struggled to get through the book because the reader did such a mediocre to poor job. The story should have been read by a woman because women were by far the dominant characters. Furthermore, the reading was flat with mispronounced names of well know places. I recommend the book because it is a classic Hillerman story but caution the reading can be difficult to listen to and contributes nothing to the story.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 66
Brilliantly told, Revolver brings the brazenly ambitious and profoundly innovative industrialist and leader Samuel Colt to vivid life. In the space of his 47 years, he seemingly lived five lives: He traveled, womanized, drank prodigiously, smuggled guns to Russia, bribed politicians, and supplied the Union Army with the guns they needed to win the Civil War. Colt lived during an age of promise and progress, but also of slavery, corruption, and unbridled greed, and he not only helped to create this America, he completely embodied it.

Outstanding history of Colt, his gun, & the time
Revisado: 12-03-20
This book is well researched and scholarly, but still readable and entertaining. The author gives you an easy to follow chronology, filling it with well known and little known facts about Colt's life, his family and the development of his gun. Where sources are conflicting, he presents the known facts but lets the reader draw his/her own conclusions. Finally, in today's environment with strong sentiments about firearms, he deftly lays out the story without passing judgement.
A great read with a first rate narrator.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 166
Here is the epic history of the "iron men in wooden boats" who built an industrial empire through the pursuit of whales. This absorbing history demonstrates that few things can capture the sheer danger and desperation of men on the deep sea as dramatically as whaling. This sweeping social and economic history provides rich and often fantastic accounts of the men themselves, who mutinied, murdered, rioted, deserted, drank, scrimshawed, and recorded their experiences in journals and memoirs.

Fascinating piece of history
Revisado: 11-26-18
This is a well organized and interestingly presented history of whaling in America. I love watching whales so have always avoided this topic. But as the author points out, whaling is a far too important part of our history to be ignored. The book leaves you with an understanding of why the industry was so important and a great respect for whalers. Well read and worth every minute of time.
