Believe I saw only two--<i>Dark Wind</i> and <i>Thief of Time</i>--Lou Diamond Phillips played Chee in one and Fred Ward was Leaphorn. Wes Studi played Leaphorn in one. Thanks for reminding me, Sergio. They're on DVD now. I'll have to put them on my wish list.Mathew Pausthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06157135006791553019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547065615486762917.post-71010704877424258502015-11-06T12:19:42.228-05:002015-11-06T12:19:42.228-05:00I'd already read several Hillerman Leaphorn, a...I'd already read several Hillerman Leaphorn, and Leaphorn/Chee, novels before I decided to try this, knowing it wasn't part of the series. I liked it well enough, but it is the character of Joe Leaphorn, and the setting of those novels, that I really love.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547065615486762917.post-70792034756640561512015-11-06T11:59:22.951-05:002015-11-06T11:59:22.951-05:00Not read anything by Hillerman yet - did watch THE...Not read anything by Hillerman yet - did watch THE DARK WIND though, when it came out ...Sergio (Tipping My Fedora)https://bloodymurder.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547065615486762917.post-87060959101732631042015-11-05T15:09:32.631-05:002015-11-05T15:09:32.631-05:00You'll enjoy it, RT.

And I agree with you about the authenticity of cultural contexts and geographical settings as one of Hillerman's strengths. Well, I'm off to the library now to find a copy of FOTW. <br />Thanks for your posting, and best wishes from R.T. at http://thesimpleartofmurder.blogspot.com/RTDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113953356514605424noreply@blogger.com
