This review is from: Shadow Man (Charlie Moon Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
Aunt Daisy, please take the big jug-head and shake him. Have long been a fan, but this one pushes the boundaries of the shamanistic. You have a strong streak of practical reality that Charlie lacks as he flounders as a rancher away from his spiritual home. It is time for Charlie to go back to the reservation and his roots.A woman's death from a rifle bullet has repercussions. A dentist who insists the shot was meant for him hires Charlie, but is proven correct before Charlie can discover the killer. Aunt Daisy's home is destroyed, which has Charlie searching for clues in all the wrong places. The sly humor of Doss makes you laugh out loud, much better than DEAD SOUL. Nash Black, author of TRAVELERS and SINS OF THE FATHERS.

Shadow Man (A Charlie Moon Mystery),
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Shadow Man (Charlie Moon Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
The chief characters in the book are Charlie Moon, a Southern Ute Tribal Investigator, his Aunt Daisy who happens to be a Ute Shaman and Charlie's best friend, Police Chief Scott Parris. The tale begins when a woman is murdered in a restaurant in a small town in Colorado. There were only two diners at the restaurant and the survivor, an orthodontist by the name of Dr. Blinkoe is convinced the bullet was meant for him.Dr. Blinkoe ends up hiring Charlie Moon to investigate and things start to heat up. Charlie's Aunt Daisy manages to get in on the action and provides us with some very funny moments. Doss mixes mystery, humor and the supernatural to come up with a story that is entertaining and fun to read. If you haven't read any of his books before, I'd recommend reading his earlier ones, such as: The Shaman Sings, The Shaman Laughs, The Shaman's Bones and the Shaman's Game. The Night Visitor, Grandmother Spider, White Shell Woman, Dead Soul and The Witch's Tongue are later works and I enjoyed reading all of them.
