The Bone Readers by Jacob Ross
5.0
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, which was a recommendation.
The character of Michael Digson is engaging as are his colleagues, a strange mix of police officers hand picked to solve crimes.
This book revolves around the historical murder of a young man but also brings in some of Digger's own history including his mother's disappearance/death and his status as the child of an unwed mother and an influential but absent father.
The writing is excellent and the patois is in keeping with the setting. The story develops into something much more than one murder and the relationships between Digger, his women and his colleagues is beautifully developed.
Looking forward very much to reading the sequel.
