Song of the Bones by M.K.Preston


This is my second read for June.

Thelma Patterson is contacted by an oil company that wants to drill on her property. She'd get good money out of the deal too, however the problem is that her husband left her 30 years ago, never to be heard from. As the properly is on both names, she either needs to find him, or declare him dead.
As soon as she asks her friend Chantalene to search for him, a miracle happens: her long lost hubby returns. She is more than suprised to see that he is back. Or is he?...

A very nice mystery, not too gory, but not cozy either. Although the story started with Thelma, the main protagonist is Chantalene, her best friend. To help her friend (who has doubts about her returning husband, is afraid and finally is kidnapped as well), Chantalene ends up in troubles as well. Not only with a killer, but also with her boyfriend and boss, the local attorney Drew, who has his problems of his own...

I am looking now for other books by this author. It was a nice beach read - and that literally, as I've actually read the book at the beach yesterday!.
