Murder, deception, Navajo tradition, and the stars collide in this enthralling entry in New York Times best-selling author Anne Hillerman’s Leaphorn, Chee & Manuelito series, set amid the beautiful landscape of the American Southwest.

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. But the details don’t align. Suspicious, Bernie takes a closer look at the case only to find that nothing is as it seems. Uncovering new information about the astronomer’s work leads Bernie to a remote spot on the Navajo Nation and a calculating killer.

The investigation causes an unexpected rift with her husband and new acting boss, Jim Chee, who’s sure Bernie’s headed for trouble. While she’s caught between present and past, Chee is at a crossroads of his own. Burdened with new responsibilities he didn’t ask for and doesn’t want, he must decide what the future holds for him and act accordingly.

Can their mentor Joe Leaphorn - a man also looking at the past for answers to the future - provide the guidance both Bernie and Chee need? And will the Navajo heroes who stud the starry sky help them find justice - and the truth they seek?

ETA: It looks like this new guy is Native, and I approve of casting in accurate ethnicities--but still. It's less fun. And like the other reviews have said, he mispronounces things.
* * *

When Christina Delaine began reading the Hillerman books, I was sad that she had replaced the guy who read the 20 or more before. But I quickly changed my mind.

She brought a new life to the characters and story. She read those Native characters in a true way that sounded like so many Natives I have known and loved.**but another reviewer said that her accent was Soiux, I'm from the north so that makes sense that I responded to the accent** I thought she actually *was* Native because she did so well.
So, this newest book comes out with yet another narrator. I was sad, but gave it a go.

This one so much less fun. He even pronounced some of the words wrong (Mesa, Canyon de Chelly, etc). I can't remember which word it was, but there was one said several times on a single page. The narrator was saying it in a weird way, so I paid attention. At first I thought that he chose to have that character pronounce it that way, or whatever, but then he slipped and pronounced it the way I'm familiar with. When we notice errors and inconsistencies, we lose the immersion into the story.

I say, bring back Christina Delaine.

Oh yah, and I like the story, just like the rest in the series.

Bring back the old narrator

I've read and/or listened to almost every one of the Leaphorn/Chee/Manuelito novels, and love the depictions of the land, the Dine and Pueblo peoples, and the characters. This latest installment isn't the best of Anne's; I was pretty sure of the conclusion about halfway through, and all the threads were tied up in a bit too neat a bow at the end. But the story is compelling, and the lead characters are like old friends by now. However, I found myself distracted by the narrator's mispronunciation of "Canyon de Chelly" and "hogan". He seemed to have gotten the complex terms from a native speaker and just assumed the simple ones would sound like a monolingual American English speaker would read them. It's a quibble, I know; but still. I might end up just reading the book from now on, as I did most of Tony's. They're always worth a read.

Narration issue

It is hard to enjoy the book with the terrible narration. Previous woman who narrated was much better. The man does not understand the Southwest. It ruins the book.

Terrible Narration!

Other than adjusting to a new reader, who didn't pronounce a sacred place correctly, no disappointment at all. Foretelling a few changes in character's lives?

Can't wait for the next one

The title of my review refers to the great Fall and Winter Constellation of Orion. Among the many great Navajo characters described in this book is the relentless, intuitive Officer Bernadette Manuelito. She follows in the big literary foot steps of Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee. And the Hillerman clan keeps on delivering the finest mystery yarns around. It also is a delight that while we are trying to out guess Manuelito, we are learning more about the strong and ancient culture of the Navajo. (Oh, and while you’re at it, buy a good telescope, find some clean dark skies, and marvel at the beauty right above our heads.)

The Autumn Sky Hunter

I loved this detailed, engrossing mystery. just when you think you know, you don't! And the details make me feel like I'm seeing the landscapes of that area.

Great story!

The story line was fine, though not her best. But the narration was mediocre to poor.

Narrator detracted from story

Anne Hillerman adds another enjoyable mystery to the series, but I recommend you read it yourself, rather than listening to the audiobook. The reader’s mispronunciations (in English, Spanish, Navajo!) were jarring and it wrecked the experience. The woman who read the previous books of Anne Hillerman did a great job and I thoroughly enjoyed her performance of them. But this was such a step down that if future books are read by him, I will have to buy them and read them myself. Too bad, because audio books are great for car trips and to listen to while cooking or doing housework. They made a chore a joy.

Great book but the new reader ruined the experience.

love all of the Navajo police who have become like people I know. love the descriptions of the area and the stories with in the story. Not at all happy with the reader. His voice was the same for all the people but Joe. He miss pronounced words. I found it very annoying and distracting.

Hillermans does it again

As a New Mexican now living in Nortb Carlolina, I always enjoy being transported back to the home of my spirit. Anne, like her father Tony, never fails to deliver an interesting mystery and continuing character development. I've been a fan for 40 years! My only complaint was the reader, who was not nearly as good as the one who did the previous books.

Love Leaphorn-Chee stories
