Brotherton weaves these together masterfully, letting the reader find answers little by little all the way to the end. The story is set in rural Arkansas, and the author gives us a clear picture of life there, its advantages and its disadvantages. Jessie Stone has moved back to her childhood home from California, trying to leave her problems behind. Dal Starr has left the Dallas Police Department to take over as the detective in the small town of Cedarton. And just so you don’t think that’s all there is to this book, Dal is part Cherokee and receives the feelings and moods of the dead.
That ought to be enough to entice you to read the book. But, just to top it off, there is the romance that may, or may not, be able to survive between Jessie and Dal. If you’re ready for a good mystery, a good romance, and some dark moods from the dead, The Purloined Skull is a great choice.
