An excellent series with two interesting sleuths,
By A Customer
This review is from: Red Moon (Paperback)
I suppose it is time for a sub-genre of blind detectives to be developed. Howard is the employee of a blind retired police officer, Jack Wilder, who couldn't stand being retired. He provides the thought and Howard does the legwork to research the cases, often with unforeseen consequences. Howard is a Native American who received an education off the reservation. Now he is sophisticated, knowledgeable, and doesn't always fit in with his fellow tribesmen. In addition, he is living in New Mexico, and is equally as much an alien as Jack when it comes to the reservation and its residents. Jack, though a resident of permanent darkness, is a gourmet cook and is even experimenting with learning to shoot without sight for aiming. Every so often he must extricate Howard from a bad situation. Howard gets knocked unconscious on a regular basis, and should be suffering far more damage from those blows...or at least reconsidering his career move.

Red Moon,
By James D. Thornton (Camarillo, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Red Moon (Paperback)
I was greatly disappointed with this book. The main character is not a Ella Clah (Aimee and Davis Thurlo), Charlie Moon (James D. Doss), nor a Jim Chee or Joe Leaphorn (Tony Hillerman) but instead the book is about a blind ex-cop from California and his college-educated indian assistant from Minnasota working in New Mexico. It reads more like a typical 1940's detective novel. Your money would be better spend on a Thurlo, Doss, or Hillerman book. I had the same feelings when I read Westbrook's companion book "Ancient Enemy".
