    Pros: Quick easy read
    Ties up loose ends
    Cons: Nothing to note except for many typos in the book's eBook form.

    Summary: Just finished Dance Hall of the Dead. It's another fine read of author Tony Hillermanas he explores Indian culture through his many murder mysteries. This book as many of his unfold in the seemingly barren and ... read more

    Pros: Cultural insights, panoramic scenery, excellent writing.
    Cons: None.

    Summary: I haven't read any of Tony Hillerman's Leaphorn/Chee mysteries for a while, and I'm glad, because Dance Hall of the Dead, one of his best, comes as a surprisingly refreshing change from the complex SF novels I've been into lately. I've read it ... read more

    Pros: Great mystery using Native American lore as the basis
    Cons: Some of the details are just glossed over as he advances his story

  • I've NEVER read a bad Tony Hillerman!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Feb 6, 2000
    Pros: Short, easily read, fast paced
    Cons: some of the names might be hard to pronounce

    Summary: Although short in length, this book was definitely high in quality content. The way Hillerman paints the scenery of the desert has caused me to covet a trip to the Four Corners region. Being a Native American History buff myself, I find it difficult to ... read more

  • One of his Best!

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 10, 2000
    Pros: gripping plot and characters
    Cons: a bit long winded

    Summary: This is one of Tony Hillerman's best books. His facts are accurate, though sometimes a little longwinded. His descriptions of the Indian Resevation make you feel that you could easily find your way around. The characters tend to come alive as you read ... read more
