"A well-braided, spell-binding yarn . . . Mr. Hillerman's novels inject fresh urgency to the age-old question about good and evil . . . [Hillerman] is at the top of his form." - Baltimore Morning Sun
"How long can Tony Hillerman keep it up? . . . Sacred Clowns is as good as anything he's done--as flavorful as beef jerky, so evocative of the land around the Four Comers area of New Mexico that even if you've never been there, you'll think you have." - Chicago Tribune
"Steeped in Navajo lore and traditions . . . The resolutions--personal and professional--ring true with gratifying inevitability." - Publishers Weekly
"There has never been anything ordinary about Hillerman's crisply plotted, magically evocative tales. . . . Mingling taut, deceptively simple prose with shrewd psychological insight and a scholar's understanding of Navajo culture and religion." - Entertainment Weekly
