The Unquiet Bones by Loreth Anne White
3.0

When a decades-old body is found buried under an old chapel in the woods, Detective Jane Monroe decides to use the opportunity to get back into her boss’s good graces. The story follows a pregnant Jane as her finance has been missing for 6 months forcing her off of her exciting homicide job and pushed into cold cases. During her investigation she learns there are a lot of people in town who are on edge about the investigation. What lengths will they go to in order to keep the truth buried?

Loreth Anne White is an auto-read author for me. I have read several of her books and have devoured each one. This one was a little different for me. It was still good overall but didn’t meet the very high expectations I have for this author’s books. I had a hard time getting into it and I really didn’t care about any of the characters. I felt it bounced around a lot and wasn’t very cohesive. By the time the twist was revealed it was just kind of like “ok, well that’s that” and it still wasn’t over. I read most of it on my kindle but after struggling for over a week and only being around the 40% mark I decided to utilize the audiobook that was included with the KU subscription and powered through 40-80% on audio while cleaning my house before switching back to my kindle to finish the last 20%.
