Ancient enemy terminal rimworld
Full of gimmicks but it still works Synopsis Ancient Enemy is part of a series of novels about Howard Moon Deer a highly educated Sioux Indian who is living in Northern Arizona and helping Jack Wilbur a blind ex police chief from San Francisco run a detective agency near the Pueblo Indians By the way Howard Moon Deer knows absolutely nothing about being a detective They run across a couple of murders involving the Pueblos and an ancient Anasazi town and human remains that may have the key to their disappearance centuries ago The title refers to the Navajo name for the Anasazi My review Sound gimmicky Sound like a bad detective show like Jake and the Fat Man or Remington Steele Sure it does but it still works Mostly it works because Howard Moon Deer is as much of a fish out of water as the reader is Although he is a Native American the Sioux are not like the Arizona Indians at all Plus he has pretty much abandoned his Indian ancestry in search of a doctorate in literature So the characters are interesting the books stand alone very well since this is my first one but it is the third in the series The anthropology of the Anasazi and the Pueblos made the book very interesting for me.

Another excellent book with great characters mystery twists and turns May be the best story in the four book series I think Just very sad that this is the end of the series Mr Westbrook moved on to other stories after this one 328 Crass Crude Hillerman would never dilute a mystery with crass humor I m disappointed I m done with Westbrook I put up with the sexual references in the first books but the mystery simply isn t good enough to warrant further readings from this author 328 This is the first book by this author I ve read but it won t be the last I liked that the series is the Howard Moon Deer mystery series but the story is told via several voices and points of view And it s grim and funny bloody and fast Might not be for the faint of heart but perfect for the back patio in daylight for me.
