Five-star review of The Sacred Bridge by Anne Hillerman
Chee and Bernie each have a case to deal with separately in this story. Each one is interesting written in an engaging style. They take place in different places, Chee’s in the area of Lake Powell and Paige, Arizona, where he discovers a body while exploring the area, and Bernie’s, about a hemp growing enterprise on Navajo land, is closer to home (theirs and mine) in the Shiprock area of northwestern New Mexico. The other worldly scenery of the far-flung Navajo Nation provides a wonderful background for the two investigations. Both cases highlight some of the difficulties the Diné people have with maintaining their culture and preserving their artifacts. I’m so pleased Anne has continued to give us stories about these characters.
