5.0 out of 5 stars Same Hillerman elements with a different slant, Jul 23 2006
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Fallen Man (Paperback)
Looks like a skeleton of a climber was found on a ledge on Ship Rock. Could this solve the mystery of a person missing for many years? Retired Joe Leaphorn is given a retainer to find out the circumstances. He enlists the help of Jim Chee.

Chee has his plate pretty full trying to juggle his love life, being acting LT., dealing with an over zealous assistant. On top of that he has to compete with a boring snob of an authority in tracking down cattle rustler(s).

As usual all the clues are laid out in the open and if one works at it they may be able to peace the puzzle together before Joe or Jim. It is fun watching how it is reviled to them. We also have plenty of what makes Hillerman famous and that is descriptions of the Four Corners area and the Navaho way. I appreciate this as I have spent many a summer watching Ship Rock from Mesa Verde.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hmmm...., Oct 31 2001
This review is from: The Fallen Man (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was immensly boring. I feel utterly stupid for having wasted my time reading this blithering mass of mindless jargon. This mystery did NOT keep me on the edge of my seat like it should have. The characters were poorly described and muh! What a waste! I'm just sorry that I couldn't choose to give negative stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Who-Done-It with a twist, Jul 18 2000
By M. Ben-Menachem (Beer-Sheva Israel) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Fallen Man (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a detective novel, with a cultural twist that I found entertaining. The addition of insights into the Navajo culture clearly enhanced this book and made it into something significantly better than the simple "who done it" it would otherwise have been.

It was so nice to catch up with Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee again that the story was almost secondary. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Did Hillerman really write this??? Or was it an intern.
I love reading Hillerman. When you live in New Mexico you know first hand what he's writing about. That is until I was at page 4 of the "Fallen Man" and Hillerman... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars good for a fix but not as good as it gets
Like other reviewers I needed a Hillerman fix, especially after the disappointing Finding Moon. but I found Fallen Man to be confusing (like others) and poorly edited. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Torturous
I don't know how I was able to refrain myself from tossing this book into my fireplace. It was full of inconsistencies and thoroughly boring. One star is being generous.

5.0 out of 5 stars First book I read of Hillerman's
The characters were great. You were really able to relate to each of the characters. Hillerman writes an incredible mystery right up until the last page.

3.0 out of 5 stars Chee needs a vacation
In Sacred Clowns, the plot was rather lame but the writing was still vintage Hillerman. In this novel, the plot is much better, but the adjective that came to my mind time and... Read more
