Anne Hillerman is a skilled writer who is able to weave together the intricate threads of her father's "cold cases" with the new cases being investigated by Bernie and Chee. I would have given this novel five stars, except for the narration. Ms. Delaine makes it hard to feel as though I am reading the story myself. Many of the men in her narration sound like a cross between Cheech and Chong and Beaver Cleaver. The volume constantly shifts from very soft to very loud. If I wanted acting, I could have ordered a video. What I want, is to enjoy the narration as though I was reading the book myself. It would make me happy if she would concentrate on reading at a constant volume level and keeping the speech natural. I can figure out whether the speaker is a man, woman, or child from the context. I don't need different types of voices and changes in timbre.
