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

2.0

Well, I've finally reached the end of the Leaphorn and Chee (and Manuelito) series, for now at least. Sidelining Leaphorn for the last two books really sucks. If that's the way the books will continue, I think I'll be good and done with them. He's my favorite and, while I like Manuelito, it seems that Hillerman writes her having to be saved an awful lot. Ugh. Having all the action take place outside of their home and away from the regulars I've come to care about is also a bit disappointing. I barely cared about the wide array of new characters introduced. The story was a big "meh."
