- The greater part of my life has been spent in the Southwest, a good bit of it in the back-country. I grew up with the Navajo, went to school with them and later worked alongside them, forging enduring friendships along the way. Those friendships became the inspiration for this series. My writing focuses on the people of the Four Corners region, past and present. I tend not to romanticize my characters, preferring instead to paint them as I find them. They have much the same qualities, good and bad, as the rest of us. Though this book is a work of fiction, a concerted effort was made to maintain the accuracy of the culture and people as I have come to know them. I hope you like them as well as I do.
At home in Western Colorado, Chappell continues to pursue a lifelong interest in the prehistory of the Four Corners region and its people. Though his books are works of fiction, a concerted effort is made to maintain the accuracy of the culture and people as he has come to know them. [retrieved 9/17/2020 from Amazon.com Author Page]

A mystery set in the Navajo nation, my only complaint with this book was that it seemed to be too short.
Magpie Speaks is a good story. There are a lot of people involved in the story. Magpie did not really speak until the end. It was considered odd that at that time that the magpie would make noise but it did. The book was given four stars in this review and is recommended for a good murder story.
Mojado is a suspenseful story that is difficult to follow. There are a lot of characters. The story did not answer why one of the characters went on a killing spree. The book received three stars in this review.

I particularly enjoyed the author’s vivid descriptions of the reservation, the New Mexican landscape, and the cultural traditions of the Navajo people. I liked the use of contrasting characters. Yazzie as a tribal investigator who wants to put his law degree to use, and Begay distrusts most authorities, especially the legal system. It appears Yazzie is the main character going forward. There are a few plot holes and an abrupt ending, but this book is primarily intended to setup the rest of the series. I enjoyed it more than expected.
