She’s come back to solve the mystery of her father’s death and confront her own dark past.

When Detective Rebecca North left her rural hometown, she vowed never to return. Her father’s apparent suicide has changed that. The official report is that retired cop Noah North shot himself, knocked over a lantern, and set his isolated cabin ablaze. But Rebecca cannot believe he killed himself.

To prove it, she needs the help of Ash Haugen, the man she left behind. But Rebecca and Ash share more than broken hearts. Something darker lies between them, and the investigation is stirring it back to life. Clues lead them to the home of Olivia West and her deeply troubled 12-year-old daughter, Tori. The child knows more about the murder than anyone can imagine, but she’s too terrified to say a word.

And as a cold-blooded killer resurfaces from the past, Rebecca and Ash begin to fear that their own secrets may be even harder to survive.

Loreth Anne White is one of my favorite authors. I love all of her books. Her characters are memorable and the suspense is always outstanding!

The Dark Bones is the second book in the Dark Lure series (The Dark Lure was FANTASTIC). The main character is Rebecca North. She's a Royal Canadian Mounted Police detective who moved out of her rural hometown of Clinton, Canada as soon as she could after her boyfriend Ash Haugen broke her heart.

Rebecca's dad is a retired detective. He's an alcoholic and he lives by himself. Out of nowhere, he calls Rebecca and tells her that he believes someone is following him and he wants to see her. He has been reviewing a cold case and he wants to know why she and Ash lied to him so many years ago. Rebecca knows this has to be about Whitney Gagnon who had slept with Ash and had left town with her boyfriend Trevor Beauchamp. Rebecca tells her dad she will call him back. Next thing she knows, she gets a call. Her dad has killed himself. Rebecca can't believe it. She comes home to investigate. She believes her father has found something about the disappearance of Whitney Gagnon and Trevor Beauchamp and someone killed him for it.

Emily Sutton-Smith was amazing with the delivery of the story

Sergeant Rebecca North is back in her small hometown in BC to bury her dad...retired RCMP Noah North. Rebecca has been told that her dad committed suicide but she keeps thinking of her last phone call with her dad...he was investigating a cold case and feared for his life. Even though the town cop has declared her father’s death/case closed, Rebecca begins her own investigation. Then she runs into her teenage bf, Ash, the last person to see her dad alive...she is wondering what dark secrets lie behind those eyes and can she trust him. As Rebecca’s case picks up steam, she realizes that maybe someone didn’t want her dad to solve that 20yr old case of missing teens. Will she survive this reopening of that case? Is Ash a friend or foe?
Captivating story...well written and engaging narration.

This story covers a 20 year cold crime that is extremely complex with many lives involved. Lots of old baggage which complicates with twists and turns and a fabulous ending. I look forward to reading another book by Loreth Anne White and listening to a book narrated by Emily Sutton-Smith. Both ladies are excellent!!

Wonderful story and presentation
