What intrigued me about this book was the colorful cover. And, I enjoy this author’s writing. This one is so much different than her Alaska Wild series.
We are introduced to Hazel Dylan, daughter of Wilmot Dylan
who was a taxidermist. I don’t know that you find many taxidermists these days.
Anywho … because of her father’s chosen profession, Hazel developed an interest
in bones … thus, her neighbors of Black Vulture dubbed her “the bone woman.”
Mysterious bone sculptures started to appear where they
shouldn’t be.
Hazel was called in by local law enforcement to help them
age the bones. Pretty creepy scenario.
They even went so far as to call in an expert from another
county. Graham.
Sonny entered the picture. Hazel’s reaction to him, having
been alone most of her life, led me down a path … following breadcrumbs.
Minnie’s podcast comes into play, which Hazel reused to
listen to.
Some of Hazel’s past comes into play.
Some truths are revealed.
For me, there are also a couple of cliffhangers. You’ll have
to read the book to find out what they are. I suspect this may lead to further
adventures for Hazel. Or maybe not. Maybe we are all going to be left
wondering.
I find it interesting that there are people who are able to
find out so much information about bones. Kind of puts me in the mind of the TV
show Bones, with Temperance as the bone expert.
I also enjoyed the fact that this tale was told in Hazel’s
voice and the voice of the whodunnit; personally, I didn’t see that one coming.
The whodunnit’s voice added just the right touch of sinisterism, at least for
me. I also tend to enjoy books that are told in the main character’s voice; I
think it adds a personal touch.
