Dance Hall of the Dead by Tony Hillerman
4.0
4 stars
I have been reading Tony Hillerman books for almost 30 years. Now, with the help of Goodreads, I am going back and reading all the ones that I missed. I have enjoyed every single one, and strongly recommend this series, probably reading it in order, unlike me. Hillerman was so respected by his portrayal of the Navajo nation, that they adopted him into the tribe. In this book, Lt. Joe Leaphorn is assigned to look for a missing Navajo youth who may have been present at the murder of a Zuni youth.
Two more people die before Leaphorn solves the case. The book is filled with descriptions of Navajo & Zuni rituals and beliefs.
One quote--Dedication: "For Alex Atcitty and Old Man Madman and all the others who agree that Custer had it coming."
This was a library book. Thank goodness for interlibrary loan!!
