mackle13 's review for:

Beastly Bones by William Ritter
3.0

2.75

The second in the series with this not-Homes & Watson duo on their supernatural investigations.

I liked this book well enough. It was diverting and while not exactly a gripping page-turner, interesting enough to keep me, well, turning pages. But it wasn't quite as good as the first one, and the investigation was, ultimately, predictable and a bit too slow going.

That said, I did like seeing the sometimes softer side of Jackaby and his particular insights, especially the one I shared in my status message.

And I liked seeing more of Abigail and Charlie together, though I felt like Abigail was a bit too slow on the uptake.

I was sorry that
Spoilerthe reporter lady, whose name currently escapes me, died, though, because I liked her spunk.


I'll be continuing the series, especially since the next in the series focuses more on the ghost, Jenny.
