Dance Hall of the Dead
Dance Hall of the Dead | Tony Hillerman
9 posts | 15 read | 3 to read
Two Native-American boys have vanished into thin air, leaving a pool of blood behind them. Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn of the Navajo Tribal Police has no choice but to suspect the very worst, since the blood that stains the parched New Mexican ground once flowed through the veins of one of the missing, a young Zui. But his investigation into a terrible crime is being complicated by an important archaeological dig . . . and a steel hypodermic needle. And the unique laws and sacred religious rites of the Zui people are throwing impassable roadblocks in Leaphorn's already twisted path, enabling a craven murderer to elude justice or, worse still, to kill again.

My #Booked2023 #SunshineNoir book: I was tempted to try a really dense South American one, but went for this relatively light southwestern US murder mystery instead. Well written, with engaging characters and insights into Indigenous cultures that are different from those in this part of Turtle Island, with a Navajo detective at the centre and traditional beliefs and practices playing a role in the unfolding of the story: part of a longer series.

Cinfhen Great!! Hope you were able to get all these books entered in the third quarter drawing before the midnight deadline 🙏🏼 (edited) 1y
BarbaraTheBibliophage My mom loved Hillerman and I‘ve never read any of his books. Maybe I should! 1y

Very interesting with lots of Navajo and Zuni cultural, religious and psychological details.

Interestingly, I was also reading Once and Future Witches, so I was reading two books with culturally diverse ideas about witches.

Yay! July's #20in4 Readathon starts today & I could use some inspiration!!! I've set a lofty goal as usual (1600 pages HA) so we will see how close I can get! I really need to read the tagged book - I've had it in & out of the library multiple times in the last five months & just somehow haven't actually read it!!

Thanks so much for hosting @Andrew65 !!!

Andrew65 Here‘s hoping you get it read, and good luck on your goal. 3y

Not too much tradition in it but it did talk about different Native American life and the traditions that revolve around that. So I am counting it for my spiderweb :)
