Snake Dreams: A Charlie Moon Mystery

I wouldn't dream of missing a novel by James D. Doss. Charlie Moon and his Aunt Daisy, along with Scott Parris are just a perfect blend. You don't have to read them in order, but you should if at all possible.

this guy is so wonderful to read. a great story teller. not one has disapointed. those that didn't get it or feel it have to let go of pre concieved or formula series story telling...and respectfully i say to you wait awhile and read it again.. there is something special or moving in every one of his books...years ago my sis made this suggestion and she was right...im going to read them ALL over again... eventualy.

As usual James D, Doss writes a great story. Read all of his books, start with the first one.

James Doss and his Charlie Moon series makes me wish there really was a Charlie Moon left in this world. The charactors seem so real funny, mischevious and warm. I think I fell in love with Charlie Moon a long time ago. Jo

Ute Shaman Daisy Perika is shopping at the supermarket when someone taps her shoulder to get her attention. Unperturbed by the interruption Daisy greets Chiquita Yazzi, who tells her she is very worried about her sixteen years old daughter, Nancy because the teen is left alone with her abusive stepfather, Hermann Wetzel ever since Chiquita was murdered. Daisy tells the spirit she will do something to try to keep the girl safe. At the same time, Nancy and her boyfriend plan to rob her house and run away. However, instead someone murders Hermann and the missing boyfriend is the suspect. While this is going on Daisy's nephew Charlie Moon plans to propose to FBI agent Lila Mae McTeague and sets up a sweet sixteen birthday bash for his Aunt's ward Sarah Frank. His musings and the party are disturbed when a distraught Nancy arrives at the ranch where she steals Sarah's gift and goes on a berserker attack while Granite Creek, Colorado police investigate the Hermann homicide one step behind Daisy and her elderly sidekick. Loaded with humor, satire, and amusing commentary, the thirteenth Moon investigation is one of the best in a consistently strong series. The cast is zany yet realistic even when Daisy and the late Chiquita have a heart to heart while Charlie is ready to open his heart. Fans of the Moon mysteries and anyone who enjoys an entertaining investigative thriller that effortlessly blends paranormal, amateur sleuth and professional elements will want to read James D. Doss' exciting story. Harriet Klausner
