Island of Bones — Imogen Robertson

England, 1783. In Island of Bones, Crowther's haunting past is at last revealed. For years he has pursued his forensic studies -- and the occasional murder investigation -- far from his family estate. But an ancient tomb there will reveal a wealth of secrets.

When laborers discover an extra body inside, the lure of the mystery brings Crowther home at last. Fans of both historical fiction à la Anne Perry and the intricate forensics of Tess Gerritsen will be delighted by Robertson's latest.
