A review by common1
The Way of the Bear by Anne Hillerman

4.0

Mostly, a well-written mystery with wonderfully likeable characters and colorful tribal lore. Some readers may object to the political references with respect to Bears Ears National Monument established by President Barack Obama by presidential proclamation, reduced by 85% by President Donald Trump, then restored in full by President Joe Biden. Others may object to
Spoilera gay relationship revealed late in the novel. Still others may object to the gay couple being bad guys.
Generally, though, only thin-skinned readers will be offended.
