Genre: Book
Grade: A-/B+
Notable People: Jon Talton
Title: High Country Nocturne
Review: After an initial week offering, Talton’s’ David Mapstone entries have been consistently very high quality. The character have been well developed over time and are believable…even the fabulously exotic Peraltha (now the ex-sheriff of Maricopa County). Talton and Mapstone mix in lots of Arizona history, philosophical meanderings, just the right amount of sex and a boatload of intrigue. This installment benefits from the lurking of a drop dead/ stone cold mystical killer dancing around the periphery of the story. This series is definitely worth any mystery lovers’ and any Arizona-phile’s attention.
