I do love a Josie Quinn investigation! This is a series I just love getting into, being back with the team. I must admit I do still need to read book 1 and 2, and this book did refer back to book 1 in particular. But I read this book just fine without having read them so you can too. I just want to know more history!
Anyway onto this book! The Bones She Buried! Wow this was a little blighter of a book! It kept me guessing throughout, like trying to make a circle peg fit in the square peg, something just did not fit properly! It was not until the final chapter when Josie and the team found that circle peg and made it fit did you see what was going on. With the murder of Noah Farley’s mum, Josie knew this would be a big case but she had to balance her personal life with Noah and his family, to her work life and solving the murder. All turned out to be so much bigger and closer to home in many ways that either of them could imagine.
Josie’s life is just never easy! I do not remember a time when things have not been so hard for her! Come on surely she deserves a break! Or a case where it does not include one of her team members in one way or another. Can this be arranged?
To solve this, Josie needed to uncover some big secrets, look back at cold cases and try to figure out how the hell she could stay one step ahead of this cold murderer. I mean how is everything linked? Is it all linked? It is a needle in a haystack for sure!
This was not my favourite book in the series, but it is still a strong story in its own rite. I had a couple of niggles with a couple of elements in the book to do with Colette’s murder and the reasoning behind it, as to me, it was obvious that it did not fit. However, the team have to learn themselves and we watch them realise this. Actions of one of the team were questionable and it will be exciting to see what fall out there is in the next book.
I do love this series! I am invested. I flew through this book in two sittings as it was action-packed, something was always going either personally or at work for Josie. I could not foresee how this would end and with so many red herrings it does keep you guessing a lot! With a bittersweet element to the case, the next book is definitely going to be interesting! I certainly did not see it coming!
I can not believe that we are on book 5 already! It feels like I was only starting the series yesterday!
