Review

"A compelling plot with excellent tension. Bone Maker is a classic whodunnit featuring money, politics, fame, sex, secrets, violence, old grievances and blind ambition." -- Katherine Fawcett, author of The Little Washer of Sorrows.

"Organized crime with a hint of noir. The best parts of Bone Maker feature old school journalist Will Finch trying to fit into a high tech world. Lost and not sure what to do, circumstances push him forward in a hurry." -- Linda L. Richards, author of Death was in the Blood
