Nice to see an old friend again.

I'm enjoying meeting Chee. What Hillerman himself said about him led me to expect he might annoy and frustrate me, but so far he seems nearly as appealing as Leaphorn, just younger and less aware of the outside world.

Did this break the convention of the first chapter personally introducing someone doomed? It had the usual setup of presenting the crime to kick things off, but it seems like we only saw the victim from afar.

Haven't had time to read lately but glad to be back to this. Still, we're almost through it and it doesn't have quite the magic and personality of the previous two.

Getting intense now, but still has a feeling of having not come very far for how close to the end we're getting.

Happy birthday, Kelli.

And that's it for the Higgins run.

This is terrible. Bad art in second issue, bad dialogue, bad characterization, bad script. Did I forget how bad this series is or did it actually get worse.

Pretty nice art. Pretty meh writing. Sitting by a door while Frankenstein is pounding on the other side, taking time to make masks for the fun of it before moving on? This better get a lot better.

This is getting interesting now that we're into Leaphorn in the field, interviewing, interacting with Navajo culture, and starting to put together some pieces of the mystery. This story feels more procedural and nebulous than previous, but now that it's moving it's an easy and interesting read.
