Lead Review

• Book: Beat not the Bones
• Location: Indonesia
• Author: Charlotte Jay

This is such a rich mystery, one that loops back on itself. Although one reading satisfies all the criteria for a great mystery, a second reading reveals how clever the author is in conveying what is a very dark vision of human motivations.  The atmosphere, the plotting, the insight into the psychological motivations of the characters, and the knowing presentation of the British operations in the Territories, gives this an all-too credible feel.
