Lost Birds by Anne Hillerman
4.0
I have read all of the books in this series, starting with those by Tony Hillerman, but both Tony and Anne have worked to allow each book to stand alone. As with any series, some are stronger than others, and this is a very good one, with some unusual experiences for our favorite characters as well as a few mysteries to solve and family relationships to explore.
Retired, legendary, Joe Leaphorn has been asked to work on two cases as a private detective --a woman trying to find her birth mother, and a women who has disappeared. One of those cases is about to cross paths with Navajo police officer Bernie Manuelito is called to the site of a school explosion where the missing women and her husband both worked.
Meanwhile, on the home front, Lt. Leaphorn's housemate, Louisa, has some surprising news, and Bernie and Darleen and their mother face even more challenges.
Just a typical week in the four corners. Pick up this book, or start the series with [b:Song of the Lion|31280668|Song of the Lion (Leaphorn & Chee, #21)|Anne Hillerman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1469809083l/31280668._SY75_.jpg|51198864] or go all the way back in time to [b:The Blessing Way|867387|The Blessing Way (Leaphorn & Chee, #1)|Tony Hillerman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1179033344l/867387._SY75_.jpg|3100762]. I'm sure you will love the characters and the setting as well as I do. Though I'm usually wary of cultural issues, these books are very well researched by the authors who live in the Four Corners area.
