Stone Butterfly

by James D. Doss

Book Overview

Ute shaman Daisy Perika is no stranger to eerie dreams, but when she has a nightmare, lives could be at stake.

Customer Reviews

Charlie Moon is always terrific

As always, the Charlie Moon books are great reading. Doss does his expected outstanding job of bringing Charlie, Aunt Daisy, and a cast of character to life. His descriptions of the desert and canyons of Ute country are so real you can smell the sage.

Stone Butterfly

Stone Butterfly tells a story of greed, murder and betrayal. Charlie Moon and his aunt become involved and things start to heat up. I kept wondering how it was going to end and I was in for a surprise when it did. I never caught the ever so subtle clues. I can't wait to read the next one! I'm a fan of James Doss and love all the books he's written. Charlie Moon and his aunt Daisy are two of my all-time favorite characters. They are old friends I get to visit with every time Doss brings out a new novel in the Charlie Moon Series. The stories are full of humor as well as mystery and have yet to disappoint me.

Probably the best Moon story yet.

From beginning to end this held my interest. His previous book was good, but it does not hold a candle to the Stone Butterfly.

Danny Doss at his best.

Danny Doss continues to write books that not only keeps the reader in suspense, while cleverly disguising the real villian and providing some of the best descriptions of the area of and adjacent to the lands of the Southern Utes. He produces one book a year; which I eagerly await. Each book is better than previous writings. This book is particularly good because it combines mystery, humor and law enforfcement with tales alledgedly told by some Native American Story Tellers.

Exccellent as always..!

Charlie Moon & Aunt Daisy mysteries never leave me disappointed!Stone Butterfy was a fine read...! Bernice Knouse
