I have followed the Legendary Lieutenant throughout his "career" and so was really looking forward to this book of his supposed retirement (though we know that's impossible.) I enjoyed the usual atmospheric stuff and the Navajo cultural things, but found the character of Joe Leaphorn implausible for the first time. He has been a straight arrow his whole life and career. To be a month into retirement and bending rules did not sit well with me nor make for a believable story. Read it, certainly. But it's not a sequel that made logical sense to me.
