What this book is about
The third Hubie Schuze mystery follows Albuquerque antiquities dealer Hubert Schuze — who supplements his income by occasionally digging up old pots without permits — into a murder investigation tied to a Taos pueblo. Orenduff's cozy mystery series is known for its witty observations about New Mexico culture, its philosophy-inflected humor, and its protagonist's amiable inability to stay out of things.
