The Way of the Bear by Anne Hillerman

3.0

Manuelito and Chee are visiting Bears Ears National Monument in Utah. Chee is doing some shaman learning and Manuelito is assessing her life and career after being passed over for a detective job. Naturally trouble finds them but I found their acquiescence to an attempt on Bernie’s life rather unrealistic. Remoteness and weather seem to be an excuse for doing nothing when an officer is attacked. As the story progresses I can see why Bernie didn’t get promoted as she misses obvious clues and focuses on irrelevant issues. Body count rises. And it’s all over dinosaur fossils.
