ABOUT THE BOOK<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

A killer with a penchant for torture has taken notice of forensic expert Gwen Marcey . . . and her daughter.<\/b>
\nWhen Gwen Marcey\u2019s dog comes home with a human skull and then leads her to a cabin in the woods near her Montana home, she realizes there\u2019s a serial killer in her community. And when she finds a tortured young girl clinging to life on the cabin floor, she knows this killer is a lunatic.<\/p>\n

Yet what unsettles Gwen most is that the victim looks uncannily like her daughter.
\nThe search for the torturer leads back in time to a neo-Nazi bombing in Washington state\u2014a bombing with only one connection to Montana: Gwen. The group has a race-not-grace model of salvation . . . and they\u2019ve marked Gwen as a race traitor.
\nWhen it becomes clear that the killer has a score to settle, Gwen finds herself in a battle against time. She will have to use all of her forensic skills to find the killer before he can carry out his threat to destroy her\u2014and the only family she has left.<\/p>\n

MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now that I have read both \u201cA Cry From the Dust\u201d and \u201cThe Bones Will Speak\u201d I am certain that I will have a place on my bookshelves for any forthcoming novel by Carrie Stuart Parks. I have always enjoyed suspense novels but in the past few years have begun to shy away from those that have too much gore. Carrie\u2019s books have just enough details to ramp up the suspense as well as give the crimes credibility but she does not include anything that makes me cringe or keeps me awake at night. I also like the fact that she draws from her own career and personal experiences for her plot and character development.<\/p>\n

In \u201cThe Bones Will Speak\u201d forensic artist Gwen Marcey is trying to pick up the pieces after a bout with cancer, an unwanted divorce, and financial pressures due to the loss of her job. A discontented teen daughter adds to her stress. When her dog brings home a human skull, Gwen\u2019s life becomes even more complicated as more bodies are discovered and there is even a possibility that she and her daughter are being targeted by a serial killer.<\/p>\n

This book had me turning the pages as fast as I could read. I didn\u2019t want to put it down until I found out who the killer could be. Plenty of twists and surprises kept the story moving and the tension built throughout the book until its climatic last pages. I can\u2019t wait to read about Gwen\u2019s next adventure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
