I have read all of the books in Tony Hillerman's mystery series featuring Navajo Tribal Police officers Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee. I was so excited when his daughter Anne continued the series, but focused on Jim Chee and his wife Officer Bernadette Manuelita.

In this book, Bernie is a little over her head when she goes undercover at a hemp farm. I love Bernie, but the more interesting of the two cases in the story is the one her husband Jim Chee is working on. He is on a short vacation, but gets involved in a murder case, a sharp contrast to the beautiful Antelope Canyon/Lake Powell area at which the crime occurs. There are some scary and sad moments in this book, but the story ends on a satisfying, positive note.

I enjoyed this story. Interesting because it is two mysteries...Jim Chee and Bernadette Manuelito each have their own stories; Jim Chee is on vacation, thinking about his future, while his wife is embroiled in a dangerous undercover operation back home. Anne Hillerman is doing an excellent job of carrying on the series that Tony Hillerman began.
