Homicide is always an abomination, but there is something exceptionally disturbing about the victim discovered in a high, lonely place: a corpse with a mouth full of sand, abandoned at a crime scene seemingly devoid of tracks or useful clues. Though it goes against his better judgment, Navajo tribal police lieutenant Joe Leaphorn cannot help but suspect the hand of a supernatural killer. There is palpable evil in the air, and Leaphorn's pursuit of a wolf-witch is leading him where even the bravest men fear - on a chilling trail that winds perilously between mysticism and murder.

You can't stop making the wrong conclusions. What the hell will happen next? Crazy good.

This one opens the door. ......the trap door.

The story relies heavily on Navajo Anthropology, and is amazing in that respect. Definitely worth reading. However, if you're just starting with Tony Hillerman's books, I'd recommend Dance Hall of the Dead.

Good, but not Hillerman's best.

Interesting story, but disappointed that most of the action transpired not around Detective Joe Leaphorn but another character. Good background info on Navajo customs, beliefs, etc.
These are great stories and George Guidell IS Leaphorn to me.

This book held true to all of my expectations and kept me guessing right until the very end. I thoroughly enjoyed the listen.

A Worthy Hillerman/Leaphorn novel

Just the beginning of 20+ volumes of fast moving crime in the Navaho Nation. I love ‘em.

After many years... listening to this story again, it is just as good as it was 20 years ago

It has been many years since I last read The Blessing Way. Tony Hillerman has always been a favorite author. He brings the Navajo way to life and shows how it fits seamlessly into their environment and personal relationships. This is perfectly reflected in the cadence and quality of the voice of George Guidal. I cannot recommend a better pair of storytellers.

Good story overall. it's very interesting learning about the culture through this story. The narration was okay just not as good as other narrators.

Interesting story, but bland narration
