“Hillerman’s mysteries are special . . . Listening Woman is among the best.”— Washington Post

The third novel in New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman’s highly acclaimed Leaphorn and Chee series.

The blind shaman called Listening Woman speaks of witches and restless spirits, of supernatural evil unleashed. But Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn of the Navajo Tribal Police is sure the monster who savagely slaughtered an old man and a teenage girl was human.

Now the solution to a horrific crime is buried somewhere in a dead man’s secrets—and in the shocking events of a hundred years past. To ignore the warnings of a venerable seer, however, might be reckless foolishness when Leaphorn’s investigation leads him farther away from the comprehensible . . . and closer to the most brutally violent confrontation of his career.

Ratings and reviews

Joe Leaphorn investigates murder. This time it's a Zuñi boy, whose Navajo best friend disappears the following day. To me this was a bit weaker than the other two Leaphorn books I've read, mostly because the criminal seemed farfetched; his motivation was kind of ridiculous, he did some things that seem really dumb, and the conclusion didn't make a lot of sense. But the detection to discover who the murderer was is good, so the book overall is still worth reading.

If there's anybody that could help my ignorance like this is an audio book I bought what all you can do is turn the pages and it won't read the book for you so you can listen to it it on settings the place where it says to check is checked for to do it go down below that and it has another button is grayed out is not allowed to have this function well I got to do download another app there's any help out there please help.
