Bones to Pick Reveiw by Amber Marr Content information : There is mild language used in Bones to Pick .
Brie Hooker , a vegan , has come home to work on Udderly Kidding Dairy Farm . The farm is owned my Lilly and Eva , her twin aunts . Her decision came after the sudden and unexpected death of one of her Aunt Lilly and Brie takes a leave of absence from her job as a sous chef to rejoin her family . When one of the farm animals digs up a human skull during the wake for Lilly , the past comes calling .
The situation surrounding the mystery involves the disappearance of Eva ' s ex-husband some 40- years prior . The local law enforcement already have Eva in their sights but Brie and her parents know that Eva is not capable of murder . When bodies start dropping and another excavation site and possible human bones are discovered , Brie joins the accused . The police department is bound and determined to label both Eva and Brie as murders .
Bones to Pick is an intense , edge-of-your-seat cozy mystery . The world created by Linda Lovely is spectacularly written and the images of each scene were not only vivid but easy to get immersed in as you read . The emotional content was delivered with great capacity for the reader to feel the moods , tempers , and injustices . The world and characters were written well and I felt like I was there .
Brie is an enjoyable and completely likable character . It is no wonder she has suitors vying for her attention and affection . She does a some things that made me cringe regarding events that happen to her while investigating why Eva ' s ex-husband ended up buried on farm property but it all worked out in the end . Her aunt Eva is a quirky but strong woman who demonstrates the ability to be independent and self-sufficient . Paint and Andy , men on complete opposite ends of the spectrum , are well-written , caring men . It will be interesting to see which way the author takes Brie ' s potential lovematch in the next few books . I like both guys so I am not really rooting for one over the other . I would be fine with whatever direction the author takes . Well , maybe that ' s not true . If I were to pick , I would pick Paint but I like a little bit of bad boy in my men .
The author did a wonderful job weaving all of the themes of this book together . The murder mystery , present-day murderers , love interests , and vegan working on a dairy farm made for a spectacular tale . The plot is solid and I didn ' t see the conclusion coming . Bones to Pick is a great novel that drew me in , kept me engaged , and continued to peak my curiosity from the very beginning . I can ' t wait to see where Linda Lovely takes Brie , Eva , and the rest of the cast in the next book .
