Carved in Bone by Michael Nava

emotional mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

A moving novel that goes to surprising depth for a procedural mystery. Nava speaks tenderly of precarious times in the LGBT+ community, paying homage to sexual and cultural identity, to the plurality and complexity of these identities and their intersections.
