Tony Hillerman is Gone

The Washington Post published an obituary for Tony Hillerman today. He was an author who brought me and my wife many, many hours of pleasure. We have read all his 18 mystery novels set in the Navajo reservations of the Southwest, going back and rereading them periodically. We have also read others of his 30 books.

He told a good story, producing books full of the flavor of the landscape, and respectful of the Navajo culture and way of life. We already miss the anticipation of a new Hillerman book.
