Old Bones (Gideon Oliver, Bk 4)

A very interesting entry in the "Gideon Oliver" series. Oliver is a physical anthropologist, a "skeleton detective" and the book is filled with fascinating information on how detectives can solve old mysteries from bones! The characters are likeable and the setting for this one (Bretony) adds a lot to the story, which involves a WW II era murder. Was the winner of the 1987 Edgar Award for Best Mystery of the Year.
