ReviewsA multilayered odyssey . . . Tony Hillerman's Landscape is an alluring and assiduously researched travel memoir, and a revealing behind-the-scenes chronicle of the peoples and settings that inspired Hillerman's atmospheric mysteries. It's a must-have for fans of Southwest mysteries and devotees of Indian Country., "The honest, unvarnished landscape of the Four Corners region of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado was essential to the plots and atmosphere of Hillerman's books; he knew and loved it well. . . .

  • It's great to put photos together with the Hillerman Navaho mysteries that I have read.

    Beautiful photos and interesting content. Hillerman's descriptions of the Navaho Nation are such an important part of his books. It is so interesting to finally see what he has described in telling his stories.

  • Beautiful photography that provided insight into the setting of the Hillerman books.

    It had a lot more highlighting of text than I anticipated, which was a little distracting, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the geographical area in with the Hillerman books were set. I am passing it along to a fellow Hillerman reader.

  • Good book but damaged

    It's a great book. The content was still accessible, but the back cover had been pierced by something sharp and heavy. It made a one inch gash and a dent that goes in 20 pages or so. Other than that it is fine

  • Great buy

    Have read all of the books and even though I have seen much of the landscapes it was interesting to see how it tied to each book.
