About the Author:
Tony Hillerman attended Indian school as a child and covered the crime beat in his early days as a reporter, gaining the insight and experience to write mystery novels that illuminate the varied cultures of the Southwest. His eight novels, including six book club selections, have been printed in seven languages.
Review:
"...as with all of Hillerman's other books on tape, Dance Hall of the Dead is compelling, colorful, and just complex enough to keep you interested, but not confused." -- Catalyst, September 1997
"An author's style has a lot to do with the success of an audio book...One writer whose works on the mark for listeners every time is Tony Hillerman...Hillerman is a former newspaper reporter, and his novels have a journalistic feel. His sentences tend to be straightforward, and they translate well to tape...An editor for Recorded Books said Hillerman's books are "very crisply written, and he leaves a lot to the imagination. Some writers put in too much detail. He leaves a lot of room for the listener."...Actor Michael Ansara, who has portrayed native Americans on television and in films, is the reader for Audio Partners' work. His reading is crisp and clear, with a touch of gravity." -- Indianapolis Star, September 1991
"High entertainment, an aesthetically satisfying glimpse of the still-powerful tribal mysteries." -- The New York Times
