Moonscape : a Nellie Burns and Moonshine mystery Cover Image Book Book

Moonscape : a Nellie Burns and Moonshine mystery / by Julie Weston.

Weston, Julie W., 1943- (author.).

Summary:

"Once again, Nellie Burns and Moonshine leap into trouble--this time in Craters of the Moon in southwest Idaho. Nellie accompanies Sheriff Asteguigoiri to the lava fields as his photographer. Three people are missing there, doing "God's work," according to Mayor Tom of a nearby town. Marked on maps as "unexplored" and "unknown," the miles of lava resist easy navigation and Nell's photography. Rosy Kipling, the one-eyed miner and Nell's friend, is recruited with Mayor Tom and Moonshine to assist in the search amidst concerns about a religious cult and money related to the missing. Physical obstacles as well as secrets and lies and consuming greed endanger all. And alone, Nell faces an attempt on her sanity and her life in this remote and almost inaccessible natural phenomenon" -- Provided by publisher.

Moonscape : A Nellie Burns and Moonshine Mystery

Library Journal

Weston's third "Nellie Burns & Moonshine" mystery (Basque Moon; Moonshadow) is set in a still untamed 1920s Idaho, which is as much a character in this novel as any of its human protagonists. This time, Nellie and her faithful Labrador Moonshine team with the Basque sheriff Charles Asteguigoiri to find out what happened to a trio of people who disappeared in the "moonscape," a vast and dangerous area of ancient lava fields, tubes, and caves. Sheriff Charles has employed Nellie to take crime scene photos, but to complicate matters, some romantic feelings may also be brewing between them. As they navigate the hazardous landscape they come across some equally dangerous characters who may or may not be polygamists or just money-hungry. Nellie and Moonie find themselves in mortal danger more than once. VERDICT This mystery should flourish in collections where the author's other novels did well. Fans of Western or historical mysteries may also want to give this series a try.--Kristen Stewart, Pearland Lib., Brazoria Cty. Lib. Syst., TX
