Hillerman is a master of the craft, who captures the beauty, desolation, loneliness, and magnificence of the desert Southwest, while weaving excellent mysteries wrapped around the culture and beliefs of the Navajo and neighboring peoples. He does not tread heavily over the subject of the clash of their cultures with white culture, but presents it with care and consideration. The result is a great yarn, a lovely tour of the Southwest, and an education about these First Nations. I've read all his novels, as well as his autobiography, and am now, after many years rereading them.
