Splintered Bones

De: Carolyn Haines

Narrado por: Kate Forbes

She may be a Mississippi belle, but Sarah Booth Delaney is no pampered daddy’s girl. Unwed and over thirty, Sarah has her own set of problems - like coping with regular hauntings by her great-great-grandmother’s nanny, a busybody of a ghost who’s set on marrying her off to the first suitor who comes calling. But when an old friend is in trouble, Sarah Booth doesn’t hesitate to get involved. Eulalee McBride has confessed to murdering her husband...and she wants Sarah to dig up the dirt on the violent scalawag to prove he got what he deserved.

Sarah Booth suspects that her friend is lying through her pearly whites...but why? There’s certainly no lack of suspects in Zinnia, Mississippi, including Bud Lynch, a horse trainer who arouses killer lust in the town’s women. As Sarah Booth begins to put together the pieces of the case, a killer is preparing to strike again. And this time it could send one late-blooming southern sleuth into an early grave.

could have been much shorter

the story went on to long, the narrator was good, but I could have done without the ghost too. It would have been better without so many characters and the story drug on to long!

Always delightful

As always the humor, the characters, the story are delightful. Long live the DGs. Now, on to the next in the series.

Better than the last

This is much better than the last book. The story is well written and entertaining.

Fan

A great a little story. I thought I knew who the killer was at first, but then things changed, and other characters started to seem like they were the killer, so I changed my mind. I didn’t like Kip at first, but she was a teenager hurting. Of course, Jitty is there for all the commentary of Sarah Booths love life and her choice in clothes. It could have been a little shorter a lot of characters. Now for the next adventure.

HOLD ON TO YOUR SEAT.

CAROLYN HAINES HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB IN WEAVING A CONVOLUTED MYSTERY ABOUT MURDER AND PURE BREED HORSE RAISING. AT FIRST, I WAS NOT SURE ABOUT LIKING THIS SLOW STARTING STORY, BUT AS THE MINUTES CLIPPED PAST, SO DID THE NIGHT. I JUST COULD NOT STOP AS THE ACTION ONCE IT STARTS IS CONSTANT. WELL WORTH THE CREDIT. YOU WILL ENJOY THE STORY, I PROMISE.
