Love the Indian Lore and I love the writing style. #1 in the series
Though perhaps not as well written or complex as some of Hillerman's better works, Blackening Song was certainly a satisfying read, a little slow and plodding.
I will admit though that there are a couple of effective scary moments-- immediately spoiled by Ella's shrill insistance there is no supernatural agents involved.
It was mildly entertaining if you want a no-brainer type of book. But if you want something you can really sink your teeth into, this isn't it. The characters lack depth and the plot is hokey.
