(less) (2019) "Joe Leaphorn may have retired from the Tribal Police, but he finds himself knee-deep in a perplexing case involving a priceless artifact--a reminder of a dark time in Navajo history. Joe's been hired to find a missing biil, a traditional dress that had been donated to the Navajo Nation.

It’s written by his daughter, Anne Hillerman, and although continues the stories of the now retired Lieutenant Leaphorn, the mysteries are focused on the detective skills of Jim Chee and his wife Benadette Manuelito. Bernadette finds a body when she is out jogging along a popular trail. Jim investigates a museum worker who became ill at work and unexpectedly passes away. During Jim’s investigation he discovers that she has been working on an anonymous donation of very fine Navajo artifacts, but that according to a note listing the contents of the box, some of them are missing. The missing pieces include a valuable bracelet and an historically irreplaceable dress woven and worn by the wife of Manuelito, an early Navajo chief who led his people in 1864 on the Long Walk which returned them to Navajo territory. As always, I enjoyed relationship between Chee and Bernie and the other members of their family as the dynamics are flavored by Navajo traditions. I also enjoy learning a bit of the Navajo history in each book – in this one the brutal Long Walk of 1864. I looked up Manuelito and the long walk and saw the very few pictures of his wife, who went by several names. The mysteries themselves seemed a bit disjointed – almost as if two not-quite-long enough to be a-book plots ideas were joined together. 3.5 stars due mostly for the Navajo influences. Really enjoyed this next installment of the long-standing series, particularly as I was traveling through the Navajo nation while reading it. I was surprised at how impatient Joe Leaphorn has become since his injury, and I suspect that his cantankerous behavior in this book will continue to be addressed in future. I like that it has already had an impact in this book, and that he is starting to heal and become aware of it even in this story.
