Search - Dead Secret (Diane Fallon, Bk 3)

Great story. I enjoy her style and character intertwining. This one starts out caving and of course a body is found -- what does one expect in this genre :)
There are a number of turns in this story -- some expected; some surprising. The final ending that resolves all the loose ends was odd, not expected but fit. I was disappointed in that the author thanks someone about their knowledge on knives but the story didn't bring all that much information about knives to the forefront.

The characters are distinct and well-drawn, and the writing is brisk. Weird as it seems, though, I knew the "who-dun-it" long before I understood the "why-dun-it." It's weird because my knowledge of the "who" was erroneously deduced from an unrelated subplot handled later in the story. That was my only surprise: the strange subplot that threaded its way through the story.

Diane is great. This book was really interesting. Mummie's, stabbing, jealous, witches, breakins - you name it. Everything kept you guessing who was doing what. This is a great series and I already have the next one to read.

This entire series is really great. Diane Fallon is a great character; very strong , yet very human as well. It is really refreshing to read about a woman who is not ever pictured, in any version of, wringing her hands. One caveat: Don't read the most recent in the series first( I can't remember the exact title so you will have to check the publication dates), other than that ,these books do not have to be read in order.

This is the third in Connor’s Diane Fallon series. Diane is a forensic anthropologist who wears two hats – one as a museum director and the other running the town’s crime lab. Connor manages to put in interesting information about various subjects in ways that don't feel like lectures, which I like. In DEAD SECRET, Diane finds an old skeleton while exploring an unmapped cave, and determines the person was murdered. The discovery of two bodies in a sunken car from the same time period as the skeleton complicates the picture. Someone, however, would like the past to stay secret. This is a nice fast read, with some fun twists.
