Her Lonely Bones, book six in the Detective Madison Harper series, delivered a hard hitting and fast-paced police procedural. Despite it being the sixth book in the series, it works well as a standalone. However, reading this instalment left me wanting to read the previous books.
Her Lonely Bones encompasses all the ingredients needed to make for a compelling story. Interesting and relatable characters, an intriguing and twisty plot, and a mystery that keeps the reader guessing.
The main characters, Madison and her love interest Nate, had hard hitting backstories. Wrongly accused and forced to serve time for crimes they did not commit. A situation which changed their lives and still has an impact even now.
The mystery featured in this instalment to a crime has connections which occurred fifteen (15) years ago. The story provides readers with flashbacks to the events which occurred 15 years ago. I suspected from the start that both cases were connected. Unravelling their connection revealed surprising and brilliant plot twists. The story pulled me and had me reading into the wee hours. For readers who have a weakness for dogs will be happy to know the story feature an adorable canine who plays a role in unravelling the mystery.
The story hidden in the pages of this book shows how the evil actions of one person can adversely affect the lives of many. This is one of those books that fans of the genre will want to add to their reading list.
