The Dark Bones

An Amazon Charts and Washington Post best seller

She’s come back to solve the mystery of her father’s death and confront her own dark past.

When Detective Rebecca North left her rural hometown, she vowed never to return. Her father’s apparent suicide has changed that. The official report is that retired cop Noah North shot himself, knocked over a lantern, and set his isolated cabin ablaze. But Rebecca cannot believe he killed himself.

To prove it, she needs the help of Ash Haugen, the man she left behind. But Rebecca and Ash share more than broken hearts. Something darker lies between them, and the investigation is stirring it back to life. Clues lead them to the home of Olivia West and her deeply troubled 12-year-old daughter, Tori. The child knows more about the murder than anyone can imagine, but she’s too terrified to say a word.

And as a cold-blooded killer resurfaces from the past, Rebecca and Ash begin to fear that their own secrets may be even harder to survive.

Very good procedural...

This is a well written book and a very good follow up to A Dark Lure (the 1st in the series). Although this is a good series, this book works well as a stand alone.
In this book the protagonist (Olivia West) leaves home twenty years before the events in this story bring her home. As a young woman her boyfriend slept with another, possibly getting her pregnant. It's been unclear since then what happened to that woman and her boyfriend.
Olivia West's father (a retired police officer) has been working on cold cases and he thinks he's into the truth. Before he can tell Olivia, he commits suicide. The problems begin when Olivia comes to town and sees a murder, not a suicide.

Riveting

Twist and turns in every chapter left me chasing the ending. The characters were authentic and flawed.

Well worth reading.

Very good story line that held my interest. I thought the narrator did a good job. I can see this being made into a movie.

A little crass

I did enjoy this book but so many of the references to sex seemed so crass. I think there is a better way to b portray this. Just my opinion.

Captivating

This is definitely an audio book that you won't want to stop listening to. It keeps you captivated the entire time.
