Summary

The next riveting mystery featuring PI Jane Lawless.

Britt Ickles doesn't remember much from her only visit to her mother's childhood home when she was a kid, except for playing with her cousin Timmy and the eruption of a sudden family feud. That's why, when she drops by unannounced after years of silence, she's shocked when her aunts tell her Timmy never existed, that she must be confusing him with someone else. But Britt can't shake the feeling that Timmy did exist...and that something horrible has happened to him. Something her aunts want to cover up.

Britt hires Jane Lawless, hoping the private investigator can figure out what really happened to her cousin. When a fire in the family's garage leads to the discovery of buried bones and one of the aunts dies suddenly and suspiciously, Jane can't help but be pulled into the case.

Do the bones belong to Timmy? Was the aunt's death an accident, suicide, or homicide? What dark secret has this family been hiding for decades? Fans of Jane Lawless new and old will be fascinated by newly minted MWA Grandmaster Ellen Hart's latest intricate puzzle.

Another solid instalment

A Whisper of Bones is definitely another solid instalment in the Jane Lawless series. Having felt like Jane was a footnote in the last book, Jane is absolutely more hands, moving in the the house if the people her client had hired her to investigate! We also get Cordelia giving it her all, following Jane undercover in a ‘Baby Jane idiom’ - what could be more perfect (and why has it taken this long!)! That said, it is definitely not my favourite, as certain parts did seem slightly flat, but the pace certainly picked up by the end. On the whole though still an enjoyable listen, and would definitely recommend this book, and the series as a whole.
