Mystery (PBS) Thief of Time

[Reciprocity]

Check local listings.

I watched this last night on KERA Dallas and liked it so much that I’m going to watch it again tonight on my NY PBS. If any of you all have read the books are they any good?


CAUTION: Plot reveled below!

"Thief of Time: Pot Hunters Destroy America's Past." Indeed the pot hunters seem to be destroying not only the past but each other. When anthropologist Ellie Friedman-Bernal (Rosalia de Aragon), an expert on the vanished Anasazi culture, disappears, her hyper-competitive colleagues, Maxie Davis (Dawn Lewis) and Randy Elliott (Lee Tergesen), claim to be clueless about her whereabouts. Meanwhile, evidence in Ellie's apartment hints that she may have been trying to penetrate the black market in ceramics illegally excavated from Indian lands.

1. Tony Hillerman books are the best!

Especially if you like mysteries and love the Navajo nation and the New Mexico/Arizona area. The Navajo themselves love Hillerman. That says it all pretty much.

2. I love Hillerman's books

and "Thief of Time" is one of my favorites.

I saw this adaptation last night too and I thought it was pretty good. The books are much more detailed about Navajo culture and the West.

My husband and I read the books aloud and we went out to New Mexico and visited many of the places in the books. It was a great trip!:)
