Not a bad book, just not as good as the others in the series. Character development takes a backseat to the story, with a plot that is complex, convoluted and involves the most unlikeable cast of characters imaginable. If you are new to the series, start at the beginning.

Victoria Muravieff was convicted 31 years ago for murdering her son. Now she is dying and her daughter, convinced her mother is innocent, hires Kate to look back into the case. Kate doubts there is anything new to uncover, but she is proved very wrong when murder and attempted murder are the result of her digging up old bones. Stabenow is still going strong and the series is as good as ever.

Dana Stabenow's Kate Shugak series is an intelligent, very well written, funny, challenging mystery series. It is wonderful watching Dana's character development of Kate and all the other wonderful people who live in these books. A book series well worth reading!!
