Genre: Book
Grade: A-/B+
Notable People: Jon Talton
Title: Arizona Dreams
Review: There is something to be said about writers who are really attached to the place they write about. Talton is an umpteenth generation Phoenician and knows everything there is to know about the desert oasis…and clearly a love – hate relationship. This is the seventh installment in his David Mapstone series (can you say serial reader obsession?)…and it a good one. As long as his protagonist/antagonist, Mike Peraltha is in the story….it’s good bet for adventure. Talton is good writer by any standard, though maybe a bit predictable. Desert reading in the Midwest winter is a bonus….
