About this product

Product Information

Since his retirement from the Navajo Tribal Police, Joe Leaphorn has been called on occasionally by his former colleagues to help them solve a puzzling crime. And Leaphorn, aided by Jim Chee and Bernie Manuelito, always delivers. But this time, the problem is with an old case of Joe's --his "last case," unsolved and haunting him. And with Chee and Bernie on their honeymoon, Leaphorn is on his own. The case involved a priceless Navajo rug gone missing. Now, years later, Leaphorn is picking up the threads of a crime he'd thought impossible to solve. Hillerman is at the top of his form in this atmospheric and stunning novel.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

Best one of the last few years
I've been a Tony Hillerman fan for quite a few years now, ever since moving to northern Arizona some 10 years ago. The first books, focusing on Joe Leaphorn were complex stories and good story telling. Didn't particularly like Jim Chee at first, but his interactions with Leaphorn were good. Hillerman developed his personality as the series went along, just as would happen in real life. The last few books of the series have been weak though. The stories not as complex, the editing showing some real obvious mistakes. Then again, its got to be tough to have to produce a book a year. This story is back to the old Joe Leaphorn, having to put everything into balance. Its got its twists and turns. Oh, you'll probably figure out "who done it" pretty early in the game, and there are some ...

Hillerman's Last Novel -- Far from his Best
If you are a Tony Hillerman enthusiast then this novel is worth the read despite numerous flaws. It was his last novel (2006) before his death in the fall of 2008. However, if you are just discovering Hillerman and his wonderful characters Jim Chee & Joe Leaphorn of the Navajo tribal police, then I recommend you read some of his earlier novels when he was in top form. Some excellent alternative choices, in my opinion, would be The Ghostway, Skinwalkers, A Thief of Time, Coyote Waits, Talking God, or The Dark Wind. This novel barely includes Jim Chee--and only in the lamest capacity. (So for those who prefer Jim Chee as a character-- don't bother.) It is full of several confusing time frames as it starts with Leaphorn recounting the story from days early but then flashes back to decades ...

This novel barely includes Jim Chee--and only in the lamest capacity. (So for those who prefer Jim Chee as a character-- don't bother.) It is full of several confusing time frames as it starts with Leaphorn recounting the story from days early but then flashes back to decades earlier and finally ends as if Hillerman has forgotten the point of the beginning of the book. There are a number of logical flaws as well as lapses where characters seem to forgot what they said in earlier passages. Nonetheless, for Hillerman enthusiasts I'd say there are enough positives in the book to merit the read. Hillerman uses Navajo history, mythology and even weaving tradition -- a remarkable & cursed Navajo rug plays a key element in the story-- to create a rich backdrop to his story. This book was written near the end of Hillerman's life when he was dogged by advanced age and ill health so it is hardly surprising that it is mediocre. The worst Hillerman novel in the series, his penultimate, is undoubtedly Skeleton Man and probably should be avoided even by Hillerman fans. (The main question I had while reading Skeleton Man was why the publisher HarperCollins allowed it into print without any effort to edit out the bone-jarring flaws and howlers that riddle the book.) So for those readers wanting to say goodbye to Tony Hillerman and Joe Leaphorn, this novel is worth the read. For anyone searching for Hillerman's best work, better to look elsewhere.

The Shape Shifter by Tony Hillerman
I bought this book because I have all the previous fiction books that Hillerman has written. This book was his last one published. Hillerman was true to form in this book, starting out calm as retired Navajo police Lieutenant, Joe Leaphorn, goes to visit his former protegee, Jim Chee, about an old case that was never truly solved and had recently come back to light via an old partner. The story about an old trading post fire and an old Navajo "Tale-Teller" rug that was supposed to have been destroyed by the fire, weaves through the little side stories, embellished by the rich descriptions of the southwest terrain and the cultural history of the Navajo people, on its way to discover what really happened to the rug.

Hillerman is a great read, telling about the customs of the southwest native people and the interplay and clashes, of those cultures, with the European cultur. And the end is always a surprise after Hillerman brings all the twists and turns together. Hillerman's descriptions of the terrain and natural geography of the area are splendid and bring back memories of my growing up years there. Hillerman's twists and turns keep the reader from setting the book down too often. If you are a collector and fan of Tony Hillerman, you will love to own this last book of his. If you are just discovering Tony Hillerman, each of his books stand by themselves in explaining the customs of the people, and are well worth reading if you want to know about the southwest cultures and customs.

Probably Hillermans Last
If you love Hillerman this is not as good as some, but is still Hillerman - with Joe Leaphorn off on another adventure in the 4 corners region. This book in many ways ties up a lot of loose ends as to Chee's final outcome with Bernadette Manuelito, how things work out with Louisa Bourbonette and how his retirement is going. Not as much loving treatment of Navajos as in past works as the characters are a mad belagana somewhat like the man in People of Darkness, his Vietnamese houseboy and another Indian whose tribe is not worked out too well. Interesting treatment Grandma Peshlakai and her buckets of Pinon sap. It was hard for me to figure out exactly where this happened on the rez. The ending was way out there and very hard to believe Leaphorn would have been there. I've been reading ...

This may be his last hurrah but I would read it again as I have all the others.

The Shape Shifter by Tony Hillerman (2006)
Great new book by Tony Hillerman who has won all sorts of awards for his mystery writing. Shape Shifters are evil spirits who constantly change their shape just as the protagonist in this mystery does. Joe Leaphorn is retired and has plenty of time to track down the "magical" rug, an artifact woven on the "Trail of Tears". Great back story that reveals a lot of Indian culture. Great read or great listen which kept me interested while commuting back and forth to work.Great new book by Tony Hillerman who has won all sorts of awards for his mystery writing.
