Publisher's summary

Dark secrets surface in the third Widow’s Island novella by number one Wall Street Journal best-selling author Melinda Leigh.

When a body washes up on the state park beach, Deputy Tessa Black’s experience as a former Seattle detective tells her that the death was not an accident. All evidence points to another murder on the remote island.

The victim is a local contractor with a shockingly long list of enemies. The more locals Tessa interviews, the more people she suspects - from the bitter ex-wife and estranged current wife to disgruntled former clients and employees. They all have different reasons to want him dead.

As Tessa’s investigation heats up, arson and a vicious assault convince her the killer is desperate to hide his crime - and that she’d better solve the case before he claims another victim.

Whisper of Bones

I am enjoying this series of novellas, especially since I am listening to them in audio! This one is about a body that washes up on the beach. Turns out this body was dead for hours prior to being put in the water. Turns out he is a contractor and there are lots of twists and turns and then an arson added in. More insights into Tessa, Logan, Cate and Henry (the local doctor/coroner) and getting closer to knowing what happened to their missing friend Samantha. Definitely looking forward to the next book!

I've been enjoying this series, but

this book tended towards the trite. Still it's a quick listen and moves a little distance along the story arc. I listened to it as part of Kindle Unlimited so I'm not as unhappy as I would have been if I'd paid for it and it was permanently a party of my library. in that case I'd have been tempted to return it.

Finding clues in unlikely places!

I wish these stories were longer. The novella format is not as enjoyable to me. But good stories with interesting characters!

Good suspense

This book has an enjoyable setting and enjoyable characters. The suspense is good. The narration is good but not as enjoyable for me as some.

Thrills, Fear, and Finding True Love

As usual, Leigh writes an excellent mystery with clues you really need to watch for if you really want to test your sleuthing skills. Also as usual, Leigh writes a powerful and intense romantic component.

I just couldn't get into this one

I love the series just not this story. Maybe it was too short and that is why I was not vested in it

Who didn’t do it?

The investigation into this guy’s death unearths so many people who didn’t like him it’s hard to find the killer. Tessa and Logan work well together and learn more about their budding relationship.
