74. Title & Author: The Bone Garden by Tess Gerritsen (502 pages)*Genre: Fiction--Mystery & Suspense
Completed: 15 January 2009
Summary & Review:
Julia, a young divorcee, finds the centuries-old remains of a woman in the garden of her new home. As she searches into the past for the story behind the bones she stumbles upon a tale of a mysterious killing spree where a young Irish immigrant named Rose and a young medical student named Norris have to prove their innocence and solve the mystery behind Rose's orphaned niece.
There were two story-lines at work in this book. One took place in the present and the other in Boston in 1830. The chapters of the book would jump back and forth between the two times, with the story set in 1830 making up the majority of the book. Until the very end of the book--the very last chapter, actually--I didn't see the point of having the present day storyline at all. But, it all satisfyingly connected with much more than just the mysterious bones that Julia found from the 1830's.
