'We have a dead second wife and a missing first wife...we’ve got a huge problem here.’ (Detective Peter Seymour)
Seven Bones is the story of one of the more bizarre murder investigations in Australia’s history. Two wives die in suspicious circumstances: co-incidence or, as husband Thomas Keir describes it, ‘bad luck’?
Three years after Thomas Keir alleged his first wife, Jean, deserted him and her young son for another man, his second wife, Rosalina, Jean’s cousin, lay scorched and strangled on her bed. Arriving on the scene, Detective Peter Seymour realised he was either dealing with the world’s unluckiest husband or a serial wife killer.
While Keir was remarkably found ‘not guilty’ of Rosalina’s murder, despite a clear-cut case, her death unlocked the mystery of Jean’s disappearance. A subsequent police investigation lead to the discovery of seven small fragments of Jean’s bones - fingers, knuckles and toes - buried deep under the same house in which Rosalina died.
Keir’s ‘grieving husband’ act was suddenly in question. The investigation revealed Thomas Kier was a man so jealous he hated even his own baby son touching his wife, Jean. A man so possessive he threatened he would cut her up and feed her to the dogs if she ever left him. A man who thought he could commit the perfect crime and publicly taunted the police through the media.
Written through the eyes of Detective Peter Seymour, Seven Bones follows his relentless pursuit of justice and his own family sacrifices, through the drama of the police investigation into Jean’s death and the three trials, convictions and appeals that would take 15 years to reach their final conclusion.

The book is written in "Aussie" English, a delightful mix of down-under expressions such as "fireys" for firefighters plus lots of "mates", "knockabout blokes", and the like. Richard Dillies' narration is pitch perfect, drawing North Americans comfortably into the unique parlance of Australians.

Throughout the narrator, the investigating officer, refers to basically being visited/guided by the ghost of the victims.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
He felt an overwhelming bad feeling at the scene of the second wife's murder -um probably because she was strangled and THEN BURNED so she was just a mangled heap of char - I assume that would be rather distressing.
Further we hear multiple references to mediums and their confirmation that it was indeed the victim's presence he felt at the scene, and the bad dreams he kept having were also definitely sent by her to tell him he was "on the right track," and to "keep going, don't give up."
A storm commenced at the PRECISE SECOND the accused took the stand and started to speak - again obviously the victim, or maybe God threatening to smite him???
Even in the afterword written by someone else (not sure who, the audible narrator did not specify) he said while compiling the book he thought he was done so he left the house AND THEN THE WIND BLEW REALLY HARD AND THAT WAS THE VICTIM'S GHOST and so he said "ok, ok I'll go back and work on it."
Both of those men should be ashamed and embarrassed that this twaddle has their names on it.
convoluted, conjecture, guided by ghosts
