Good book! This book had a bit of everything! It had suspense, Action, intrigue, mystery, murder, revenge, a great who done it, great plot twist, and some crazy twists and turns! The storyline was very interesting and kept me glued to my Kindle!! I definitely recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

I received this book from NetGalley.
I actually really enjoyed this book! It started off a little slow for me, but once things really started going, I was hooked! I will definitely be reading more from this author!

I enjoyed reading this book. Even though it is seventh in a series it is a standalone story. Once I got into the story I had to finish it. I will look into other books by this author.

I wasn't sure what a police doctor does, except for assisting in rape investigations, so I was intrigued to find out more with this, my first book in the Dr Callie Hughes series. The book starts with Callie inspecting bones which have been unearthed in a garden by builders. She has to assess if they are very old. She doesn't think they are, and police must now deal with a potential murder investigation until more forensic evidence is uncovered.
Callie is a fully rounded character, living in a different part of the UK than her boyfriend and wondering if she should uproot herself to join him. I felt concerned for her when she started to be singled out by someone with a grudge. Her friends were very supportive but I was alarmed she didn't get much help from the police, until matters escalated.
I was wondering what Callie's trope or quirk is. Every detective, doctor or pathologist in a novel has one. It was revealed as her determination to follow up on leads and clues, most of which should have been police work. It transpired she is impulsive and often does this.
The book tied up the loose ends around the criminal matters but ended on a cliffhanger around Callie's personal life. A suitable incentive to encourage me to read the next instalment!

This was a good story which kept me turning the pages throughout the night. Great mystery, writing and plotting will recommend to all my friends who love this genre.
