Close to the Bone by Lisa Black
Summary: Forensic scientist Theresa MacLean
stumbles across a murder rather too close for comfort when she returns to the
Medical Examiner’s office following a late-night call to find one deskman
missing and the other beaten to death. Written in blood above the dead man’s head
is a single word: ‘Confess’.
It’s the first time a homicide has taken place actually within the ME’s office.
Medical Examiner Stone works on how to spin the news while Theresa works the
scene.
When a second victim is discovered, Theresa uncovers a link to the death of
another co-worker, records secretary Diane Allman, who was murdered in her own
home ten years before. As she painstakingly pieces the clues together, Theresa
realizes that she has become an integral part of a ruthless killer’s murderous agenda.
And if she is to survive, she must find out what really happened to Diane all
those years ago.
Angie's Comments: I
liked Theresa, who is an older woman, divorced, with one daughter in college. She
is a strong, believable character.
The book is one of the quicker
books that I have read. Most of the plot is fast, although in a few spots it
seemed to be slower than I would have liked. And I love that near the end, you
think all hope is lost, but then comes the twist. I couldn’t guess who did it
until the end.
This is the first Lisa Black book I
have read, and I will be checking out Tipton Library’s other Lisa Black books
soon!
