The Collector A Navajo Nation Mystery edition by R Allen Chappell Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
- Continuing his tradition of impeccable research and in depth personal knowledge of the Navajo Chappell's 9th Navajo Nation mystery is a beautiful and spellbinding spin on the high end Native American art trade. This is a wonderful who dunnit --Chappell really had me guessing right up to the spectacular end. Billionaire collectors competing to satisfy their lust for the best leave Lucy Tallwoman's life hanging by a thread. New York city and the Navajo Reservation may be thousands of miles apart but Chappell brings them together so well, it seems Charlie, Thomas and Harley have finally met their match. Though his work always honors the tradition Tony Hillerman began, to me Chappell's characters always evoke the natural authenticity of a Steinbeck novel. The luck for us is that we get to know these characters better with each new book. My husband and I have gotten to know and love them well. The sense of humour and original scenarios are purely original to Chappell. I've found no writer quite like him in the many threads he so seamlessly pulls together. I highly recommend Chappell's entire series and look forward to book 10! I agree with others that you should start the series at the beginning so you may enjoy the journey of getting to know this excellent cast of characters.
- This book is my second place favorite in the series. I found it to be very realistic in detailing investigative operations and law enforcement procedures. This sort of attention to detail helps to set stories such as this one a cut above the rest in the crowded mystery genre field.
The storyline is good, as are the mystery and thriller elements, which makes the book hard to put down. The book also gets high marks for accurately in depicting Navajo culture, conduct, reasoning, and mannerisms. It is all around a solid, interesting read. - R. Allen Chappell, always entertaining, just keeps getting better. From the moment we see Lucy Tallwoman at her loom, we know we’re in for a treat from a writer who understands Navajo art and its appeal across far-flung parts of the globe. And when Charlie Yazzie, Harley Ponyboy and Billy Red Clay appear on the scene, we know there will be spice and more than a dash of impetuousness added to the stew. Throw in an FBI specialist in art theft and art fraud, and everything comes to a boil. This complex and satisfying picture of those who live the Big Rez in the traditional way will reward all those who love novels set in the gorgeous, scenic, and sometimes dangerous four corners area.
- I read all of the very well written 5 star reviews about this book and agree wholeheartedly and cannot think of anything to add. I suggest reading these wonderful books in order so the beloved characters' lives will progress in order. Each book is to me better than Tony Hillerman's books. There is so much more rich detail. Not just the Navajo religious traditions are described, but all facets of the culture and each characters' thoughts about every action taken. The author makes you feel as if you were right there in the middle of it all. Chappell is getting better and better. This book is superb. Enjoy.
- So happy Ron has created this great series for his loyal readers! These readers discover more about the Navajo people with every new book in this series. Keep up the good job!
- I have read this entire series and can hardly wait for next book. I love hanging out with Charlie, Harley, and Thomas. Thanks.
- Another enjoyable book in this series. I read it as quickly as I could. Character development focused on "the bad guys" who will not appear in future books. The regular characters did not seem to have as much to do with solving the murder. The plot has weaknesses such as murder clues never being explained, the final disposition of recovered art, and an indication of whether the artists ever received any justice. The last chapters appear to be out of order with events occurring six months later, and the next page jumping back to the hospital scene after the shootout. This edition needs editing; misplaced commas throughout.
- I always look forward to the next book from this author. I have read all of his and they are always excellent. A great batch of new bad guys and a consistent bunch of old established good guys make his books a delight tom read. An excellent writer!!!!
