The Silence of Bones
by June Hur
Earlier this year I read [b:The Story of Hong Gildong|25810328|The Story of Hong Gildong (Penguin Classics)|Unknown|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1445792183l/25810328._SY75_.jpg|45666333] and Silence of Bones was a good companion to that, in that both stories had a character who was a son, but not the son of the first or favored wife, and therefore could not be recognized in Korean society; these less-favored sons each took a completely different path in his own book though. Coincidentally, both books also featured a story of the birth of someone extraordinary, but the outcomes of these two characters were completely different.
I enjoyed learning about the damos, the female police investigators, and I wish we had seen Seol helping with some other cases before being flung straightaway into this bizarre murder mystery.
I am terrible at following the threads of suspicion and evidence, and I'm notorious for forgetting about the alibis and red herrings, so mystery isn't really my preferred genre, but I enjoyed the setting and the characters so much that I like to leave a good rating anyway.
