Beste detective van hem tot nu toe, maar hij schrijft slordig.

Beter verhaal dan Heksenwerk, al blijven er iets teveel losse eindjes aan het verhaal zitten.

Detective in Navaholand. Magere plot. Vooral de locatie geeft het boek iets extra. In hoeverre de Navahocultuur authentiek geschetst wordt of een (geromantiseerde) voorstelling van een blanke auteur is, valt onmogelijk uit te maken. toch heb ik sterk het gevoel dat de cultuur er van buiten opgelegd is, en niet van binnenuit komt, zoals bijvoorbeeld in Ceremonie van Leslie Silko. Maar dit is dan ook geen literatuur.
