Authentic crime suspense fiction


The Bones Will Speak by Carrie Stuart Parks

In this authentic novel, Parks continues the story of her heroine, Gwen Marcey.  Gwen stumbles into a murder investigation by finding a girl who has been tortured and temporarily abandoned.  The eerie thing about the victim is that she so closely resembles Marcey’s own daughter.  After putting some clues together, Gwen realizes that she is being stalked by a serial killer who is somehow related to the Christian identity movement.  Can she outwit the killer to save many lives including her daughter’s and her own?

The things I most enjoyed about this book were the flawed but unassuming main character, the unique job she held, and her courage.  The way Parks teased the reader along kept me guessing until the killer was revealed.  The ending of the book was rollercoaster fast and just as suspenseful.  Those readers who enjoy crime fiction with lots of suspense will find this book keeps them awake late into the night.  I really enjoyed it.
