Book Review: A Grand Escape
Summary: 4 Stars
We all pass around the Hillerman mysteries in my family. I read this one the other day--and I couldn't put it down, as usual. Having just driven through the Southwest, I found myself absorbed by his descriptions of the Grand Canyon's geology, plants and animals, as well as his insight into the Navajo and Hopi philosophies. I agree with some of the critics, however, that the repetition of some of the diamond storyline was overkill, and that it was surprising that the heiress would get away with attempted murder after he had portrayed her as unhinged. A thought just occurred to me: While Hillerman explains much about the sacred, secret journey one of the Hopi protagonists takes down into the Grand Canyon, there's little exploration of the meaning of bones and DNA in the American Indian mindset. That could have been an interesting discussion for the book, too.
In the end, it was gripping and satisfying diversion, as always. And I'm glad Chee's getting hitched. It's about time.
