Flesh and Bone by Jefferson Bass (2007, Abridged, Compact Disc)

Flesh and Bone provides the reader with an intimate view into the world of forensic science. The mystery that is wrapped around these rich characters holds the reader until the final pages. While I could speculate on a number of characters as the likely villain, I truly didn’t know who-done-it right until the end. What an interesting concept to write a work of fiction as a team! The writing style is so seamless, the reader is never able to detect any change throughout the book. I needed to remind myself at the end of the novel that this book was written by two people! The Body Farm location, with its basis in reality, lends even more credibility to the stories that take place there. This books reads like a ripped from the headlines story – real enough to be true and real enough that you wouldn’t want it to be true. I will be adding this author to my list of writers where I will seek out his (their!) new releases. A gripping book that kept me reading late into the night!
