| 43 of 44 people found the following review helpful  A stronger focus..., By lwd (California) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Coyote Dreams (The Walker Papers, Book 3) (Paperback) I will admit to being a bit wary of staying with the Walker Paper novels after reading Thunderbird Falls. Joanne walked into so many obvious traps and bad decisions I was ready to lock her in her room.In Coyote Dreams, Joanne makes a comeback. No, she's not perfect, and still gets into trouble, some of it embarrassing, but she's generally thinking before jumping. More importantly, she has to face the consequences of her previously poor judgment, and takes responsibility. In short, character growth. Let me repeat that - CHARACTER GROWTH. Now that's refreshing. Bravo to the author. Bravo also to the author for her obvious respect of men. Eye-candy cartoon cut-out gigolos are not her shtick, she gives every major male character a personality, a strength, an identity of his own, regardless of his romantic potential. Gary, a dominate character in all three books thus far, is allowed to be sexy, romantic, physically strong, solid, dependable, wonderful, even in his...

Joanne Walker, aka Siobbhan Walkingstick, can't help but agree.It's definitely getting weird when 1/4 of the police department doesn't show up for work. The officers have just gone to sleep and cannot be awakened. Physicians believe they are in a coma. Using her shamanic powers, Joanne realizes the sleepers are being slowly drained of their life forces by some vampiric type of magic. As her investigation progresses, she realizes she's the source of the problem. She's got to move fast to save her friends and fellow officers--and eventually, the world. C. E. Murphy has definitely hit her stride in this book. While every one of the Walker Papers novels so far has been very good, "Coyote Dreams" shows a maturity in her voice. Murphy has a wry, humorous take on life and it often shows, lightening the darker moments depicted in her novel, sparking a bit of life and hopefullness...

E. Murphy takes her half-Indian, half-Irish all-befuddled urban shaman into even deeper territory where she has no idea what to do. Somehow, she manages to muddle through, but it sure would be nice if she got some training with this shaman stuff. She can clearly fix a car. She can clearly fixate on her boss. She has a bunch of friends who are some of the strangest characters in urban fantasy-- and Murphy makes them believable. A huge transvestite detective, named Billy Holliday...what more needs to be said. Yet Holliday is a real person, and we care that he is in a coma at the start of the novel.If you like urban fantasy, this is a different take. It isn't Elves in Seattle. I waited for it to come out, and bought it immediately. I read it with avarice, and liked it. C. E. Murphy has a great career ahead of her, and I can't wait to read more.

Product Description
Instead of powerful forces storming Seattle, a more insidious invasion is happening. Most of Joanne Walker's fellow cops are down with the blue flu--or rather the blue sleep. Yet there's no physical cause anyone can point to--and it keeps spreading.
It has to be magical, Joanne figures. But what's up with the crazy dreams that hit her every time she closes her eyes? Are they being sent by Coyote, her still-missing spirit guide? The messages just aren't clear.
Somehow Joanne has to wake up her sleeping friends while protecting those still awake, figure out her inner-spirit dream life and, yeah, come to terms with these other dreams she's having about her boss....
