Insiders' Guide to Santa Fe, 5th (Insiders' Guide Series) ReviewSanta Fe is a relatively small city and its key attractions are pretty much established, so that it is not absolutely necessary to buy a new guide every year -- a guide even a couple of years old is easily updated from materials freely available online or from the City adminstration by mail or at many locations in the City itself.
Nonetheless I really enjoy reading what people who live in or near Santa Fe emphasize in their guides, and I pick up a new one every year. The Insiders' Guide to Santa Fe, 5th edition by Nicky Leach is a great contender for current information, covering all of the highlights, and adding a personal interpretation that makes the writing come alive in a very satisfying way.
Leach has worked on at least three versions of this guide, in two earlier versions as part of a team and in this version as the major editor. She lives in a valley north of town, and clearly knows and loves the city. Her bio from her webpage gives you a bit of insight into some of the personal elements you can expect to find here, mixed in the solid information you need to enjoy Santa Fe:
"I am currently at work on a guidebook entitled Day Trips From Albuquerque: Getaway Ideas For the Local Traveler for The Globe Pequot Press, due to be published in May 2010. [My] Specialties include: US National Parks, travel, the history, geology, and sociology of the US West, nature essays, the environment, and self-help, but my interests are broad and I'm happy to consider many other topics.
"A lifelong advocate of complementary medicine, I have 1500 hours' training in biodynamic craniosacral therapy, Esalen massage, polarity, and other somatic therapies focused on stress relief and engaging the mind-body connection to improve health conditions."
If you are in the market for a good guidebook to Santa Fe, consider either this volume or Compass American Guides: Santa Fe, 5th Edition originally by Lawrence W. Cheek and seamlessly updated by Andrew Collins. Either guide will meet your needs beautifully.

People of Darkness ReviewThe title refers to the members of an underground Native American Church peyote cult whose totem is the mole, "the predator of the nadir." The mystery involves the attempted murder of a dying man, the disappearance of his corpse from the hospital morgue, a uranium mine, a fatal oil-well explosion 30 years earlier, and the theft of a keepsake box filled mostly with black rocks. This novel has the distinction of featuring the scariest, most chilling villain of the series: an emotionless, psychopathic, methodical killer for hire who leaves nothing to chance. The suspense builds as the point of view alternates between the killer's and Navajo policeman Jim Chee's. "People of Darkness" is one of the best in a literate and very entertaining Southwestern series. For other well-written American Indian-related mysteries, try James D. Doss' Shaman series and Margaret Coel's Arapaho series.People of Darkness Overview
A dying man is murdered. A rich man's wife agrees to pay three thousand dollars for the return of a stolen box of rocks. A series of odd, inexplicable events is haunting Sergeant Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police and drawing him alone into the Bad Country of the merciless Southwest, where nothing good can survive . . . including Chee. Because an assassin waits for him there, protecting a thirty-year-old vision that greed has sired and blood has nourished. And only one man will walk away.
