The Skeleton Road (Karen Pirie, #3) (Inspector Karen Pirie Mysteries, #3) (Books That Changed the World)

by Val McDermid

When a skeleton is discovered hidden at the top of a crumbling, gothic building in Edinburgh, Detective Chief Inspector Karen Pirie is faced with the unenviable task of identifying the bones. As Karen's investigation gathers momentum, she is drawn deeper into a world of intrigue and betrayal, spanning the dark days of the Balkan Wars. Karen's search for answers brings her to a small village in Croatia, a place scarred by fear, where people have endured unspeakable acts of violence. Meanwhile, someone is taking the law into their own hands in the name of justice and revenge -- but when present resentment collides with secrets of the past, the truth is more shocking than anyone could have imagined ...Atmospheric, spine-chilling and brimming with intrigue and suspense, this is Val McDermid's richest and most accomplished psychological thriller to date.

Reviews

Started reading this and thought that it sounded familiar, so I checked around and found that I had downloaded this from Audible in December 2014. I must have listened to it and never recorded it. This is one of the reasons I use Goodreads so I don't read the same books over and over. Marking this read and not writing a review.
