Burialsby Mary Anna Evans
Another difficult book to review. I liked it immensely and I'm eager to read more of the series. But it didn't have that little extra whoompf which would make me give it five stars and put the next book on hold immediately.
The heroine-slash-bone detective is great. Her husband is a supporting character and doesn't have much role to play, either in the action or the character development. And there appear to be some children, offstage and ignored. And a father-in-law who seemed intriguing but never seemed to make much sense.
Yet the author creates a good plot and doesn't rely too much on silly coincidences and a perpetrator's monologue to wrap up and explain all the loose ends.
