Whisper of Bones

Widow's Island Novella, Book 3

De: Melinda Leigh

Narrado por: Christine Williams

Dark secrets surface in the third Widow’s Island novella by number one Wall Street Journal best-selling author Melinda Leigh.

When a body washes up on the state park beach, Deputy Tessa Black’s experience as a former Seattle detective tells her that the death was not an accident. All evidence points to another murder on the remote island.

The victim is a local contractor with a shockingly long list of enemies. The more locals Tessa interviews, the more people she suspects - from the bitter ex-wife and estranged current wife to disgruntled former clients and employees. They all have different reasons to want him dead.

As Tessa’s investigation heats up, arson and a vicious assault convince her the killer is desperate to hide his crime - and that she’d better solve the case before he claims another victim.

Whisper of Bones

I am enjoying this series of novellas, especially since I am listening to them in audio! This one is about a body that washes up on the beach. Turns out this body was dead for hours prior to being put in the water. Turns out he is a contractor and there are lots of twists and turns and then an arson added in. More insights into Tessa, Logan, Cate and Henry (the local doctor/coroner) and getting closer to knowing what happened to their missing friend Samantha. Definitely looking forward to the next book!

love the bone story's by Melinda Leigh she is am

loved the story an putting n the step family
members was different but very interesting

I've been enjoying this series, but

this book tended towards the trite. Still it's a quick listen and moves a little distance along the story arc. I listened to it as part of Kindle Unlimited so I'm not as unhappy as I would have been if I'd paid for it and it was permanently a party of my library. in that case I'd have been tempted to return it.

Just keep getting better

Follows the series well, looks like another love story in the making. Read well. Getting better.

Finding clues in unlikely places!

I wish these stories were longer. The novella format is not as enjoyable to me. But good stories with interesting characters!

I just couldn't get into this one

I love the series just not this story. Maybe it was too short and that is why I was not vested in it

Who didn’t do it?

The investigation into this guy’s death unearths so many people who didn’t like him it’s hard to find the killer. Tessa and Logan work well together and learn more about their budding relationship.

Enjoying the series

I've enjoyed listening to the stories. I like the that wrote the book you're still learning about the main characters their lives and their relationship if not just call about the crime. one thing that does bother me is there's a lot of retelling in each book about things we've already heard in the previous book. I don't mind short synopsis of previous information but it seems to get drawn out longer and longer each book. on to the next book...

Good detective work

Third novella in Widow’s Island series, this one required step by step detective work. This novella, featured Deputy Tessa Black and Logan Wilde, brother of FBI Special Agent Cate Wilde.
Dr. Henry Powers continues in the series as doctor and coroner for Widow’s Island and is involved in patching up the boo-boos as well as helping with gruesome murder victims.

Good suspense

This book has an enjoyable setting and enjoyable characters. The suspense is good. The narration is good but not as enjoyable for me as some.
