Summary: Engaging characters, window to tribal politics
Comment: Something strange has happened but Acting Chief Charlie Moon doesn't believe Grandmother Spider really has climbed out from her caves under the lake to rip a man's head off and sink her fangs into his body. It's just that the evidence seems to point that way.
GRANDMOTHER SPIDER provides a view of Native American reservation politics and a number of truly engaging characters, especially Charlie Moon. Moon won't play the political games but would certainly like to be made permanent chief. His knack for justice goes beyond the book--he'll do what he thinks is right. Of course, this may also get him in trouble.
Author James D. Doss writes with a light style and I found myself laughing out loud over the dialogue. GRANDMOTHER SPIDER is definitely a little over the top in a number of ways. Is it just me, or was the whole comando thing just a little much?
I sat down to read for a few minutes and didn't stop until I'd finished the book.

Summary: Encounters of the forth type
Comment: I met James D Doss when his 2 first books were translated in french; then I was hooked. So now, I am eagerly waiting for his seventh tale. I like Scott Parris, I love Charlie Moon, and I worship Daisy Perika; those three characters are wonderfilly written and the stories are ansolute little chefs d oeuvre. How can a man contrive such perfect timing stories, with little apparently meaningless details, which happen to be the real clues, I do not know, but indeed Doss deserves to be translated in many countries.And not only his stories are good, there is also some impish finny outlook that is just great. And Daisy, well, she is Daisy. By the way, Monsieur Doss, if you ever read reviews on AOL, please get better informations on the "loup garou", and buy a better french english dictionnary, because that is about the only failures of your stories.Champagne for you. NB When is supposed to be released White shell woman , how can I survive than long, "grandmother spider" is great, translate it soon in europe

Summary: Great fun! perfect summer reading
Comment: Finally...a mystery so outrageous it seems unsolvable without breaking the bounds of reason...and a solution outrageous enough to work!! I loved how this book mixed elements of a modern police/detective story with Native American shamanism and even a little of the supernatural. I also enjoyed the characters, especially the old shaman Daisy ,a cranky, fiesty woman with a shrewd sense of humor, and Charlie Moon, the soft-spoken Ute police chief with an appetite for unhealthy food.
After Daisy's young charge Sarah smashes a spider with her biology book, the Shaman tells her of how Grandmother Spider will rise from Navaho Lake to revenge her spider people. That very night something carries off two men...and then the strangely mutilated body of a third victim is found--the victim of a spider attack? Soon, Charlie Moon finds himself sorting through evidence so bizzare, even HE is starting to believe in Grandmother Spider...
