A review by lakeshorelibrarian
The Way of the Bear by Anne Hillerman

5.0

Thank you to Net Galley and Harper Collins for letting me read an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. The book is scheduled for publication April 25 2023.

Bernadette Manuelito is told by a traditional healer to hike in the Valley of the Gods within the Bear Ears National Monument. Bernie is enjoying the amazing rock formations and stays to watch the sunset. As she walks back to her truck, someone first tries to run her down and then takes a shot at her.

This is how Bernie and her husband, newly promoted Lt. Jim Chee, take a weekend vacation.

They each come at the puzzle from different directions, but the pieces don't make a clear picture.

This is a page turner rife with untrustworthy characters and a complex and overlapping set of shadowy circumstances and confusing interrelationships.

Will Bernie and Chee figure out what's going on before there are more killings?
