Her Covered Bones by Fiona Tarr

Publisher's Synopsis

When dark secrets come to light, a trail of murder and deceit will follow.

Constable Jenny Williams spent the last decade obsessed with finding her missing cousin. She became a cop, moved to a remote outback mining town and put her career on the line to track Melanie down. Now she’s been found, Jenny should be overjoyed…

But her cousin’s past is full of unanswered questions and dark secrets. Jenny is willing to ignore it all, until a woman’s body is uncovered at William Creek Station - the very same place Melanie disappeared from all those years ago.

As the investigation kicks into high gear, Jenny’s gut instincts scream there must be a connection between Melanie’s disappearance and the suspicious deaths at William Creek Station.

When she finds the connection, she won’t be the only one who wishes it never came to light.

This has been an excellent series that has kept readers engaged over the five books so far. I was eager to discover the truth behind the overarching mysteries behind Jenny William’s cousin reasons for going missing ten years before, and the murder of her boyfriend Nick’s father.

This book picks up shortly after the last one finished and this times the discovery of bones is closer to home, as far as Jenny is concerned too close to home. Just how involved are her cousin and aunt with the murders and why have the rest of her family been keeping secrets. As she works hard to discover how involved they might be, she begins to feel her ongoing relationship with Nick will suffer. Read All Reviews

So seriously WOW! I am so glad that author Fiona Tarr says that there will be more of the Opal Fields series!! I read the whole series back-to-back and loved it. Her Covered Bones was the perfect conclusion of the arc that brought Jenny to the outback. Heart wrenching, nonstop action with characters who matter left me breathless. I really could not put it down. A new discovery brings the case of Jenny's missing cousin and Nick father to the forefront, and this time she gets all the answers including some that she doesn't want. Read All Reviews
