Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

For mystery buffs who like a little magic mixed into their mayhem, James D. Doss serves up the third in his series of regional mysteries set on Native American reservations. In The Shaman's Bones, Doss's hero, tribal policeman Charlie Moon, and a Shoshone shaman named Blue Cup are both on the trail of a murderer, but their methodology is vastly different. While Charlie employs the usual police procedures to solve the crime, Blue Cup sends his spirit after the killer. What happens next makes for a spooky, gripping read.


From Library Journal

Even though Ute police officer Charlie Moon's elderly aunt, a well-known visionary and shaman, warns him of impending violence on the Colorado reservation, he is ill prepared for what happens. Events begin with an Indian's bad check but escalate to child abandonment, a vicious attack on a female police trainee, murder, and the theft of another shaman's sacred objects. Doss uses setting and atmosphere to heighten the mystical aspects of his subject and astute characterization to enforce its credibility. A successful, sophisticated, and vibrant third from the author of The Shaman Laughs (St. Martin's, 1995) and The Shaman Sings (LJ 5/1/95).

4.0 out of 5 stars A Definite Read, Aug 21 2002
By Vernon (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Shaman's Bones (Mass Market Paperback)
While yearning for more Tony Hillerman after reading his last book, I accidently came across The Shaman's Bones. I absolutely loved it. I could easily imagine neighbors from my childhood that could easily play some of the characters in this book. The only problem I had with this novel were the few dream sequences, which I thought tended to be unnecessarily long and disruptive to the flow of the the plot. Regardless, I intend to read the other 'Shaman' novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Memorable, gripping and haunting - can't put this book down., Oct 21 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Shaman's Bones (Mass Market Paperback)
Mr. Doss writes in a style that gives the reader vivid mental pictures of what is happening with each of his characters. I have not enjoyed any murder mystery this much before. The Shaman's Bones integrates humor, murder, and mystery with emotion and Ute mysticism and lore.

Anyone who likes Tony Hillerman's books will LOVE the Shaman series by James D. Doss. I recommend that anyone who wants to step into Mr. Doss' world, begin with the first book in the series (The Shaman Sings) and work their way through the series. Warning: If you read one, you'll have to read them all!

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, a real page turner!
James D. Doss does not write a sleeper! This is entertaining and keeps one in suspense as we wait for Charlie Moon to solve the brutal murder of a friend's wife. Read more
