Book Review of Spider Woman's Daughter (Leaphorn, Chee and Manuelito, Bk 1) (Larger Print)

The writing isn't bad. The plotting and pacing is OK, but it just isn't Leaphorn, Bernie or Chee.

Leaphorn isn't depressive. Chee isn't in some existential personal struggle between Dine' and White. Bernie is a girl. Not a tough, cop girl a real girl.

I would be interested in reading Anne Hillerman's own books with her own characters, but she doesn't have the same edge as her father.
