"As Hillerman continues her father's legacy through his beloved characters, she's gradually and gratifyingly finding her own voice." -- <em>Kirkus</em> "Hillerman seamlessly blends tribal lore and custom into a well-directed plot, continuing in the spirit of her late father, Tony, by keeping his characters (like Chee) in the mix, but still establishing Manuelito as the main player in what has become a fine legacy series." -- <em>Booklist</em> "Anne's voice is exceptional, the tool of a natural storyteller." -- NewsOK "Cave of Bones is simply a pleasure to read...Hillerman's best novel yet." -- Comic Book Bin "This fictional universe now belongs firmly in the hands of Anne Hillerman" -- <em>New York Journal of Books</em>
Anne Hillerman grew up with the stories her father, New York Times bestselling author Tony Hillerman, brought home from his work as a journalist and later as a fiction writer. His storytelling and a deep love of reading inspired by both her parents led Anne to own career as a journalist and nonfiction writer. After Tony's death in 2008, Anne felt the loss of his beloved characters as deeply as his fans did. His fans' passion for those stories inspired her to give Tony's characters a second chance at life and to develop one of his minor characters, Bernie Manuelito, into a central protagonist. Stargazer is her sixth novel and the twenty-fourth in the Leaphorn, Chee & Manuelito series."
