I concur that Hillerman's series was tailing off a bit, however, I still liked them enough to keep reading. And then his daughter (Anne Hillerman) has done an interesting reboot, IMO, with a change of lead character, while still keeping most of the same cast. I've really liked several of hers.
Full disclosure: my dad's family is from that part of New Mexico/Arizona, and so I may be a teeny bit biased...
