BOOK REVIEW – Close to the Bone (Widow’s Island Novella Book 1) by Kendra Elliot

Book Review

I enjoyed my first interaction with this series. I like that the books are a short quick read. It was a welcomed mind cleanse between books. It also had substance and excellent writing. FBI SA Black is back home for a while. When a pile of remains are found she is the only specialist available. Given she lives on a remote island, it is difficult to get support quickly. So she springs into action. Her best friend Tessa is the local deputy and the two make a superb pair. I have to be honest that I didn’t have high expectations, I thought it would be a quick meh read to help my Goodreads challenge. Boy was I wrong, I can’t wait to follow along and find out what other secrets the island holds.

From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kendra Elliot comes the first novella in the thrilling Widow’s Island series.

FBI Special Agent Cate Wilde is back home on a remote Pacific Northwest island when she gets the call: a teenager’s skeletal remains have been found on a nearby island.

Together with Tessa Black, a childhood friend turned local deputy, Cate confronts dreary weather and bleak leads to make sense of the death. The complications pile up as Cate is distracted by the coroner on the case—and by nagging memories that draw her twenty years into the past. The remains suggest eerie similarities between this victim, and Cate and Tessa’s friend Samantha, who disappeared when she was fourteen.

Cate finds herself up against closemouthed locals, buried town secrets, and even her own heart. As the case unravels, will she be able to cut through the fog and find justice for the missing and the dead?

I like being transparent and checking my review with the free Grammarly add-on is something I do. The app checks and helps me with spelling and grammar. All the thoughts in the book review are written by me, not by a robot.
