Reviews for A Gift of Bones

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5My first Christmas mystery of the season, and it's from one of my favorite series. It was pretty good. My personal observation about long-lasting series is that authors have a tendency to go bigger and bigger with each book. Usually it's the plots that try to outdo each other, but sometimes, as in this case, it's a certain theme, or themes. The Sarah Booth Delaney series has a very strong underlying theme centered on the power of love, family and friendship, and these themes have become more ... urgent? as the series has progressed. I'm not complaining - I love this series - but while I enjoyed the book thoroughly as I was reading it, it felt a tiny bit saccharide afterwards. Oh, and in this one the plot was definitely out there. And way too overly labyrinthine. I'm not sure it really worked, to be honest. But I love the characters whole heartedly, and Zinnia Mississippi comes alive. It might have been a 3.5 star read, but I've been quietly stewing for years about the Coleman story line, and it's finally come good in this book - that bumped it 1/2 star. Overall, a solid read, that went by fast.
