My Thoughts on the Novel, The Bones At Point No Point…

This book was a good read, and kept me attentive throughout. The main character, Thomas Austin, riddled by grief and regret, is not your typical hardboiled detective seeking redemption. At first, he seeks solace, which is why he left the NYPD and moved to Hansville, Washington, on the Puget Sound, 3,000 miles away. He is a reluctant retiree, with no intentions of returning to police work.

But old fears and longings re-emerge when a bag of an infant’s bones is found on the shore near his home and business. He had already solved this case of the infamous Holiday Baby Butcher and had watched her being put away for life.

Or had he?

Filled with high stakes, twists, and a team of real, down-to-earth characters, this novel prompts me to continue to read this series. I want more of Thomas Austin and the Kitsap County Detectives.

I recommend this novel to lovers of mystery and police procedurals.
