A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

The Bones Will Speak (Gwen Marcey #2) - Carrie Stuart Parks

This is the second book in the Gwen Marcey series.  The first one, A Cry from the Dust, was a great book and I was happy to have the opportunity to read this one.

When her dog discovers some remains close to her house, Gwen gets wrapped up in something that’s much larger than she thinks.  Finding one of the victims alive, she’s stunned to see the resemblance to her own daughter.  At first, she thinks it must be a coincidence, but the further into the investigation she gets, the more it looks like she’s being specifically targeted.  The question is: why?

Gwen’s personal life is still a mess.  She’s still having hot flashes, problems with her ex, and money issues.  None of these things are going to stop her from protecting her family.  She’s strong, courageous and smart and will do it on her own if she has to.

This is a great book.  Once you get involved in the story, you’re gathering clues with Gwen and trying to figure out what’s important and who’s behind it.  I didn’t have the killer figured out, so I got to be shocked with that one.  I love this author’s writing style and her attention to detail.  The two books I’ve read by her have a great balance between information you need without overdoing it.  There’s plenty of twists and turns in there to keep you guessing.

There’s another book planned for this series and I can’t wait for it to come out.  They can be read out of order.  Great Book!

*I received a copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
