Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Three shotgun blasts explode into the trailer of Officer Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police. But Chee survives to join partner Lt. Joe Leaphorn in a frightening investigation that takes them into a dark world of ritual, witchcraft, and blood—all tied to the elusive and evil 'skinwalker.' Brimming with Navajo lore and sizzling suspense, Skinwalkers brings Chee and Leaphorn, Hillerman's bestselling detective team, together for the very first time.

Jim Chee barely escapes becoming the fourth of a string of strange homicides plaguing the NTP. His investigation into the crimes takes him all around the reservation. Lt. Leaphorn is also trying to figure out this puzzle. Witchcraft and a shady doctor add elements to the story, making it significantly different than most murder mysteries.
What got me, were the touching moments where Leaphorn was with/thinking about his wife, describing how he was losing her to the unexplained folly of the human brain. This secondary storyline shows the Legendary Lt. in a place where many of the readers have been or will be in, making him an extremely compelling character in this volume.

Anything Tony Hillerman does in my opinion is well worth reading. But I am a big fan of the Leaphorn, Chee mysteries anyway.

And the setting is marvellous too. The book is set right smack in the middle of the Large Reservation in the State of Utah. This is the very first book in the Joe Leaphorn/Jimmy Che series, and it certainly is a good one. These two wonderful detectives are caught in the middle of a bunch of murders that seem to lead back to witchcraft in the Navajo nation. Hillerman makes his setting come alive and the people in his books are real. In it we learn a lot of Navajo folklore. I think it will certainly be worth pursuing the other books in this series since Hellerman seems to make this world his own.

Oklahoma's own Tony Hillerman shines brightly with "Skinwalkers", the very first of the Leaphorn/Chee mysteries to put the two characters together in the same book. One of the best novels from one of the most brilliant writers of the past 35 years. VERY highly recommended!

This is the very first in this series that I've read and I enjoyed it. It's a quick read and surprising. I've heard other books in the series are better and I'd like to read them and see for myself.
