From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. A picture cut from a glossy magazine, Luxury Living, draws retired Navajo tribal policeman Lt. Joe Leaphorn into a hunt for a soulless killer in bestseller Hillerman's enthralling 18th Leaphorn/Chee whodunit (after 2004's Skeleton Man). The picture's sender, Mel Bork, another cop retiree, wonders if the distinctive Navajo rug shown in the picture is the same one Leaphorn described to him long ago, a rug supposedly destroyed in a fire the two officers investigated that took the life of a person identified as among the FBI's most wanted. Bork's subsequent disappearance and murder herald the dangers awaiting Leaphorn from a most formidable enemy. As Leaphorn searches for evidence to confirm his suspicions, he enlists the aid of Sgt. Jim Chee and his bride, Bernadette Manuelito, just back from their honeymoon. Only Hillerman could so masterfully connect such disparate elements as an ancient cursed weaving, two stolen buckets of piñon sap and the Vietnam War. The conclusion is sure to startle longtime fans of this acclaimed mystery series. (Nov.)

From AudioFile

George Guidall owns these wonderful Tony Hillerman stories, in which Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police solve crimes using their deep knowledge of Navajo legends and customs. In this one, Leaphorn, retired, is drawn back into an unsolved case by the reappearance of a priceless Navajo rug that had been thought destroyed in a fire. Chee and his policewoman bride, Bernie, are mostly unavailable to help, and Leaphorn, without a badge or legal gun or the right to pry, has a tricky time of it. The title shape shifter is a real-life version of a creature from tribal legend, an evil being with the power to disappear and reappear as something else. Guidall is a vocal shape shifter himself, and wonderfully effective. B.G. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine --Ce texte provient de la Audio CD édition.

4.0étoiles sur 5 PURE LISTENING PLEASURE, Mars 22 2007

(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Shape Shifter (Audio CD)

Chosen a Golden Voice for outstanding narration actor George Guidall is a versatile performer, he's read everything from humor to dark Russian classics. Very much at ease in bringing Hillerman's characters to life, he delivers this story almost laconically thus allowing the author's words to take center stage.

The transformation myth is very much a part of Native American culture. As retired Navajo tribal policeman Joe Leaphorn describes it there is a name for their worst kind of witches: `One version translates into English as skinwalkers. Another version comes out as shape shifters."

Officer Jim Chee remembers the time he was told about sheep being bothered by a shape shifter, a wolf, who quickly turned into an owl and flew away. Evidently, shape shifters can even turn themselves into inanimate objects.

A description of this myth is the springboard for the latest story of mystery and murder by renowned author Tony Hillerman. This is his 18th Leaphorn/Chee mystery and it's a dandy.

Leaphorn receives a clipping from an upscale magazine, Luxury Living. It is a photo of a Navajo rug, an unmistakable one that was supposedly destroyed in a fire long ago. The same fire that took the life of a wanted criminal. It's an old case for Leaphorn, one that was never solved.

Who sent the clipping? Mel Bork, another retired policeman, who begins to investigate the case and then suddenly disappears.
The rug is pictured in the home of a wealthy investment banker. But, how could a rug that was burned beyond any hope of repair reappear in what seems to be pristine condition?

Pure Hillerman - pure listening pleasure. Highly recommended!

3.0étoiles sur 5 A Thin Effort from Tony Hillerman, Déc 13 2006
This review is from: The Shape Shifter (Hardcover)
If you are like me, you've reveled in learning about Native American culture, contemplating stunning vistas only available in the Southwest, and appreciating the challenges of being a law officer deeply steeped in two cultures as you read Tony Hillerman's earliest novels. In those books, you probably found either Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn or his some-time sidekick, Jim Chee, to be your favorites.

Naturally, you looked forward to The Shape Shifter after learning that both Leaphorn and Chee are in the book. I did, too.

But the book itself was a disappointment. I spent the first hundred pages trying to figure out why the details didn't fit in with the earlier stories and chronologies. Then, I simply gave up and decided that I should read the book like it's a standalone novel, rather than as part of a distinguished series.

Next, I kept looking for something mysterious to happen. The only mystery seemed to be why a big-time international crook was involved in petty crime in small towns and isolated areas. That part of the premise didn't seem to ring true.

Then, I looked for amazing detection. That, too, was missing.

Finally, I wanted to find intriguing characters that made me think. I didn't find those either.

Ultimately, I was most disappointed that the book's main premise, that a rare Navajo rug was photographed by a glossy magazine and identified as being linked to an old crime, didn't hold water.

So I found myself grading the book based on what I learned about the rug, which was quite interesting. I don't remember the last time that a rug was more interesting than the characters. But, well, that's the case here.

Based on the last few books in this series, I strongly recommend that Mr. Hillerman hire someone to help him write these books.

What's the story? Oh, well. You have a right to know before you consider reading the book.

Joe Leaphorn helped investigate a death of a wanted serial killer where an antique Navajo rug was destroyed. Leaphorn described the rug to an FBI agent, Mel Bork, at the time. Decades later, Bork contacts Leaphorn to see if the recent photograph in Luxury Living could be of the same rug. Bork decides to check into matters and disappears. Leaphorn follows the agent's trail right up to the house where the rug is kept. It seems to be the same rug. How could that be? From there, Leaphorn figures out what happened to the agent and the history of the rug. Before the book ends, Leaphorn finds himself in a quandary about how to bring the guilty to trial.

Unless you are dedicated to never missing one of the Hillerman books, this is one you could probably skip and not feel bad.
