The Secrets of Bones by Kylie Logan

Hello my friends,

Today I am reviewing “The Secrets of Bones” by Kylie Logan the 2nd instalment in the "A Jazz Ramsey Mystery“ series. I really enjoy this series and plan on buying book one “The Scent of Murder“.

The Secrets of Bones is a riveting mystery following Jazz Ramsey as she trains a cadaver dog.

Assembly Day at St. Catherine’s dawns bright and cloudless as professional woman gather from all around Ohio to talk to the schoolgirls about their careers ranging from medicine, to NASA, to yoga. Jazz Ramsey has also signed up to give the girls a taste of her lifelong passion: cadaver dog training. Her adorable new puppy Wally hasn’t been certified yet, so she borrows the fully-trained Gus from a friend and hides a few bones in the unused fourth floor of the school for him to find.

The girls are impressed when Gus easily finds the first bone, but then Gus heads confidently to a part of the floor where Jazz is sure no bones are hidden—at least not any that she’s put there. But Gus is a professional, and sure enough, behind a door that no one has opened in ages, is a human skeleton. Jazz recognizes the necklace the skeleton is wearing, and that it belonged to Bernadette Quinn, an ex-teacher at the school who’d quit her job abruptly one Christmas break. But now it seems Bernadette never left the school at all, and her hiding place makes it clear: this was murder.

Bernadette in life had been a difficult personality, and so there are a plethora of suspects inside the school and out of it. As Jazz gets closer to the truth she can’t help but wonder if someone might be dogging her footsteps...

Even though this was the first book I have read by this author, I was able to read it as a stand-alone with no problem. I found myself engrossed in the story right away and reading it in almost one sitting.

The mystery is interesting and well plotted, and I loved the characters of Jazz and sister Eileen which are well developed. I also liked learning about cadaver dogs and the training that is involved.

Kylie Logan is definitely an author I will be following in the future and I can’t wait for book 3 to come out.

I highly recommend this series to all my mystery loving friends.

I requested and received an Advance Reader Copy of this book from Minotaur Books and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my OWN.
