A review by uncle_remus
Skinwalkers by Tony Hillerman

4.0

Leaphorn finally meets Chee. One thing I enjoy about this series is the pacing. Some stories are like reverse roller coasters with peaks and valleys, slowly up and down until the final peak and the end of the book. Others are a fast-paced, downhill racing at breakneck speed, adrenaline-pumped action story with no moment to breathe (those tend to get tedious and you are unable to enjoy the moment and the story). Sometimes you got to stop and smell the wildflowers. These are more leisurely paced, and more brainy than action, and more culture-oriented than forensics. I love the nuances of the integration of traditional beliefs in a modern SW society.
