I really love the way Hillerman pulls together the Navajo (and Hopi) traditions to solve a mystery. I kind of felt sorry for Chee, this is the second time he's thought he had a murderer dead to rights only to have Leaphorn wander by and pull out some conflicting evidence. The plague story is quite interesting too, I did not know there were so many agencies involved in investigating that. I used to live where you'd hear about it now and again, always seemed so odd.
