Rest in peace, Tony Hillerman

I don’t get much time for recreational reading, but when I do I enjoy mysteries and one of my favorite authors has been Tony Hillerman. Hillerman died Sunday.

I’ve always been fascinated by Native American culture and Hillerman’s books described some of the conflict between our Anglo ways and the traditions of Navajo.

I haven’t read all the books in the Navajo Tribal Police series, so Hillerman will live on for me as I go back and find the titles I haven’t read yet.
