Editorial Reviews

Ingenious plot, intriguing characters, and a mystery as well hidden as rubies on a beach.

Booklist - Mystery Reviewer

Connor combines smart people, fun people, and dangerous people in a novel hard to put down. The excitement she generates from a pile of old bones and rags is amazingly compelling.

The Dallas Morning News - Laurie Trimble

Beverly Connor has taken the dry bones of scientific inquiry and resurrected them into living, breathing characters. I couldn't put [it] down until I was finished, even though I wanted to savor the story.

Author: The Dancing Savior - David Hunter

If you're in the mood for a deliciously twisty tale, look no further. Connor delivers in spades! When it comes to forensic thrillers, no one beats Connor.

RT Book Reviews - Jill M. Smith

Calls to mind the forensic mysteries of Aaron Elkins and Patricia Cornwell. However, Connor's sleuth infuses the mix with her own brand of spice as a pert and brainy scholar in the forensic analysis of bones. . . . Chases, murder attempts, and harrowing rescues add to this fast-paced adventure.
