A review by brighroosh
Dance Hall of the Dead by Tony Hillerman

3.0

HIllerman's writing saves this book from being a dour testimony to the worst inclinations of "the white man." This contrast of Native American philosophy with Anglo ambitions is played out against the backdrop of beautiful New Mexico and Arizona.
I liked the interplay of Zuni religious rites with Folsom Man's practical need to hunt with their sought after arrowheads.
I just felt the ending kind of fizzled. Perhaps the next book in the series took up some of the loose ends, but I felt let down.
