Book Review: Spider Woman’s Daughter

April 11, 2024 Leave a comment
Spider Woman's Daughter: A Leaphorn, Chee & Manuelito Novel (A Leaphorn and Chee Novel Book 19)
 
First of all, this is not a Leaphorn and Chee Novel. It is a Manuelito Novel—Bernadette Manuelito being the wife of Jim Chee. Leaphorn is quickly put into a coma and Chee is presented as kind of a tiresome, bungling husband, while Manuelito solves the crime. I had not read Thief of Time, so the mystery lacked coherence. I read Tony Hilerman’s second novel, Dance Hall of the Dead, and picked up Spider Woman’s Daughter to see how Anne did taking over for her father. Not so well, as far as I can tell. While there is the obligatory Southwest scenery and Native American culture, the emasculation of the main characters and a weak mystery, leave much to be desired, making this book a dead end for the series. (2 of 5 Stars)
