This may be my favorite Tony Hillerman novel. It brings together some of his more notable characters introduced in prior books and continues to percolate their inter-personal drama plotted over multiple novels. But the characters are fuller, more mature. All this is cast against the events of skeletal remains found on a remote ledge of the Shiprock formation in North West New Mexico and the unraveling mystery surrounding its identification and the ultimate solution of that year's-old mystery. A very enjoyable read.

I really miss Tony Hillerman. Don't get me wrong, his daughter is carrying on the stories of Chee, Leaphorn, and Manuelito in the best way, but I still miss him.The Fallen Man seamlessly brings in an eleven-year-old missing person's case, a recent murder attempt, and a cover-up that links these two events and so much more. For fans who enjoy the personal relationships in the books, this is where the Jim/Bernie relationship begins moving forward and we get our first, good look at Joe Leaphorn after retiring. With 12 years behind me now after retiring from the Air Force, I now see more facets that Hillerman built into Joe since the first time I read the book.Nearly perfect, Find it! Buy it! READ IT!

Tony Hillerman's 12 th book in series of Navajo mysteries, "The Fallen Man" again features Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee teaming up to solve a cold case. 11 years prior, inexperienced climber Harold Breedlove disappeared leaving his wife & brother in law to run his ranch. Amazingly one morning after 11 years a skeleton still dressed in climbing gear is found on rock ledge. The question of the exact date is of vital importance. Harold had to live to age 30 to receive his inheritance- Harold was 29, almost 30 when he vanished 11 years prior. Leaphorn now retired is working as a PI for the Breedlove family. Did Harold's wife, and brother do something funny to ensure they'd get inheritance ? Jim Chee now engaged to lawyer Janet Pete is having his own miseries. Chee must continually struggle with rookie officer Bernadette Manuelito. It's obvious to everyone but Chee that Bernadette has major crush on Jim. Another excellent read from Tony Hillerman that's enjoyable from first page to conclusion. Hellerman's colorful and unique characters continue to amaze with each passing page. It's really easy to root for Leaphorn and Chee even though they really don't get along too well. Another 5 stars out of 5 stars for "The Fallen Man", from Tony Hillerman. A true classic not to be missed.

For the first time I read an English story without searching every word on the internet. The story is clearly structured. The plot is quite easy to understand so I could imagine myself what words (which I did not understand as a Swiss student) meant.I also enjoyed reading the book because it is written very excitingly and I was interested in the Navajo culture. Those parts, where Tony Hillerman wrote about the special environment in Navajo, I liked the most.There were also parts where I did not like to read on. For example in the middle of the booklet, the story is quite too drawn-out. It needed a bit of patience but in the next chapters, there happened something interesting again. I liked the change of views respectively the mode how Hillerman described several plots paralelly.My personal time-management was not the best because I had to read the book in three days so I could not really enjoy the whole thing. I would recommend the book for people who are interested in crime novels, different cultures and sometimes also a bit of irony and sarcasm.

I really like these stories and the settings. I don't quite get how they are true Chee and Leaphorn since they never seem to really work directly together but small complaint. It is nice that they don't blend their personal lives with their work lives. I do hope that Chee gives up on Janet...she seems a bit whiney to me and I simply hate when women try to make men something they are not. If she's that blind to how he is, then he's not for her. I'm sure they'll figure that one out shortly. This mystery was interesting and involved some rock climbers and greedy peeps looking to capitalize on a ranch. The end kind of reminded me a bit of the Inspector VanVeeteren mysteries that I also follow...things handled but not necessarily conventially.

This book is really good at developing the dynamics between the characters. You get totally absorbed into Acting Lieutenant Jim Chee's life. And into the mystery of the Fallen Man. Am on p. 158 and I am totally engrossed in this mystery....As the mystery deepened, it was very hard to put this book down. You get an understanding of each of the characters as you read along. It was fun determining who the killer was and it wasn't obvious until the end of the book....

A skeleton is found several hundred feet high up on a cliff where most people can't get too. Someone is rustling cattle. An old man is shot to death for no apparent reason. A lawyer firm has an interest in an old ranch. All these things have something in common, but what? Tony Hillerman has an excellent way of bringing several story plots into one conclusion.

As usual, Hillerman combines an engaging mystery with all of the local color of the Navajo nation in New Mexico and Arizona. This book highlights the distinct anti-materialistic values that distinguish Navajo culture.My hard copy, very good condition, is for sale. $6 includes shipping.

Same Hillerman elements with a different slantLooks like a skeleton of a climber was found on a ledge on Ship Rock. Could this solve the mystery of a person missing for many years? Retired Joe Leaphorn is given a retainer to find out the circumstances. He enlists the help of Jim Chee. Chee has his plate pretty full trying to juggle his love life, acting LT., and dealing with an overzealous assistant. On top of that, he has to compete with a boring snob of authority in tracking down cattle rustler(s). As usual, all the clues are laid out in the open and if one works at it they may be able to piece the puzzle together before Joe or Jim. It is fun watching how it is reviled to them. We also have plenty of what makes Hillerman famous and that is descriptions of the Four Corners area and the Navaho way. I appreciate this as I have spent many a summer watching Ship Rock from Mesa Verde.

Always enjoy Hillerman's work (father and daughter's) this has a lot of stuff going on: environmental concerns, old cold cases, debate between justice and the law, about harmony versus revenge or punishment, romances coming and going, cattle rustling and mountain climbing. Once again it has a satisfying ending, but the "bad guy" does not get put into the legal system. I do find more and more of these mysteries have us know who was the "doer" of the crime but the bad guy does not get arrested, not enough proof, the good guy does not think the legal system will give a good solution, or flees the country or for some other reason, the good guy does not pursue the legal system. A shameful assessment on our legal system.
