mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.25

The mystery was more interesting in this installment - bones are found in a WWII plane that turn out to be MODERN BONES (my new band name). But the rest is as usual: another person is cheating on their spouse, the main character is obsessed with losing weight, and babies keep appearing. Just babies everywhere. But I keep enjoying the little soap operas anyway, so on we go.

gemin1reader's review against another edition

adventurous dark emotional

3.75

As they were largely focused on historic crimes, this book had less of a pacy feel than the previous in the series and the family tree did get a bit confusing for me, but still another enjoyable read! 

At this point I’m mainly reading for

the will-they, won’t-they nature of Ruth and Nelson’s relationship!
