Book Review of Dance Hall of the Dead

Dance Hall of the Dead
mizfitz avatar reviewed on


This is a wonderful book that gives insight into the Navajo and Zunis Tribes. A mystery that will keep you on the edge. Tony Hillerman fans have come to expect the terrific tidbits of Navajo lore that flavor his best selling mystery series featuring Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn of the Navajo Tribal Police. In Dance Hall of the Dead, readers are treated to a double dose of fascinating facts, with Hillerman's riveting descriptions of Zuni as well as Navajo traditions and religious rites.
From the Dallas Morning News: "Hillerman deserves to be included in any list of the best living mystery writers."
