Summary: Problems with the ending.
Review: I just finished reading the third in the series of the Anasazi Mysteries, "Bone Walker"
I loved the book and the spellbinding duel story.
I did find fault with the ending . I felt that Dusty's Mother Ruth Ann should have received punishment for her part in the murders, Pot hunting, and antiquities theft. It seemed obvious that she played a larger role as instigator of most all the problems and in light of her wearing the neckless of the "basilisk".
Also the fate of "Obsidian" was never resolved. Did she die ? and how?

Summary: Fascinating mystery
Review: In the thirteenth century, the once majestic Anasazi Empire is in a rapid state of decline. A nasty drought has led to a food shortage, which exacerbates the religious disputes and inter-clan genocide becomes the norm. War chief Browser and his trusted aide Catkin want to kill the witch Two Hearts, who burned their home to the ground. Two Hearts covets an amulet Browser wears because the witch believes that will extend his life.
At the same location, but in the twenty-first century, the FBI asks archeologists Dusty Steward and Maureen Cole to help on a homicide investigation. Someone killed a mutual friend Dr. Dale Emerson in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico with the evidence pointing towards a witch. Dusty and Maureen have the knowledge to see what the Feds might miss because the proof lies outside their belief system.
The alternating chapters between the thirteenth and twenty-first centuries keeps the readers on full alert as they try to connect the link between the eras. There are many fascinating mysteries contained within BONE WALKER, but it is the vibrant and perceptive panorama on the Anasazi culture that makes this novel stand out amidst the crowd of archeological who-done-its. The audience feels the decline of this mighty civilization and wonders if history will repeat itself with the United States. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Great Book in a Great Series!
Review: The Anasazi mystery series by the Gears is tremendous fun to read and teaches one a lot about archeology and the Anasazi culture. Don't start with this one. Begin with The Visitant, then The Summoning God and finish off with Bonewalker. I'm reading them for the second time which I find enjoyable due to the complexities of the mysteries and the Anasazi cosmology. If you have ever been to Chaco Canyon you'll really appreciate the detail and, like us, perhaps plan to a trip back to hunt down all the magic places referenced in the books.

Summary: Wonderful mystery series
Review: This is a great series, and I think this will be the last in this particular trilogy. This is a great series because it melds the past and the present so seamlessly. There are two entirely different stories, but they are both connected by the past and the book weaves in and out so effortlessly. I really enjoyed the story, and the mystery (both past and present) was also gripping. The characters are so real(even the ones from the past). There is no other mystery series out there like this one, and all lovers of mystery and folklore should read this series.

Summary: 2 Excellent Stories For the Price of One
Review: This was an excellent book. There were two stories interwoven within each other. Both followed right along each other. The characters were outstanding. Both of these stories had a great deal of suspense and murder and of course with the Gear's writing the excellence of past history was there for all to see. The Gears have an awesome touch of allowing the reader to see and feel the history of the Anasazi. I could not put the book down and I thoroughly recommend it for anyone who likes a good murder mystery and a love for the past.
