Sacrifice by Sharon Bolton
4.0
While Tora is digging a hole in her yard to bury her deceased horse, she digs up a body. A young woman having recently given birth whose heart has been torn from her body and strange runes carved into her back. As an obstetrician, Tora is curious about this woman and her baby. Could she possibly have been a patient at her own hospital? What happened to the baby? Do her coworkers know about this? Is there a conspiracy on the small Shetland island where she works? She engages in a little detective work of her own and nearly makes the ultimate sacrifice for it.
I loved Little Black Lies so it was only natural that I pick up another of Sharon Bolton's work. This is her first, and it's clear from the writing - some clunky dialogue and a bit of odd character development here and there. BUT the plot is excellent. The action is realistic and the twists and turns that the story takes continually kept me guessing. I'll definitely read more of Bolton's early work.
