Bone Harvest
Bone Harvest by Mary Logue
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This wasn't a bad book but overall I found myself a bit disappointed in it because Claire isn't really the one to solve the case. It has an interesting premise. It's the 50th anniversary of a family slaughter. Both parents and all five of the kids including the baby were shot to death. Now 50 years later, our villain believes it's time for the case to solve. He begins doing things that are potentially fatal to draw attention to the case.
And he leaves behind the finger bones of the victims (baring the fact that the children's bones are fully ossified).
That is interesting but in many ways they're working more on who is trying to draw attention to the old crime which makes sense since he's a potential danger. Much of this is mired in anti-German prejudice that was rampant post WWII.
But the thing that bothered me was someone has always known what happened and eventually confesses to what they know so basically nothing Claire did mattered. That was how the case was solved and the ending was rather weird.
