Close to the Bone

Widow's Island Novella, Book 1

By: Kendra Elliot

Narrated by: Christine Williams

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

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?

Just OK.

Not one of her best, I hope that this, first in the series was just to set up the characters and give a sense of how the island was laid out. I sincerely hope future plots will be more compelling.
The narration was quite good though.

Good read

Good read. Enjoyed the story. A mystery within a mystery. On to the next story.

Absolutely Painful to listen to

I enjoyed the story but the narrator was horrible. I couldn’t even finish listening, I had to buy the book! I will never buy another book with this narrator, the experience was miserable!!!

Not as thrilling as I had hoped

Great narration and story line wss good, it just wasn't a page turner for me.

The story was hard to follow due to the narrator

The story was hard to follow, mainly due to the narrator whose tone didn't always match her words. I suspect the Kindle version would have been better.
I give this book 3☆s.

Engaging Mystery with a bit of romance.

I was captivated from beginning to end. Relatable characters, yummy ice cream, and happy cows. What more can you ask for?

The narrator did a wonderful job giving different voices to the various characters.

Overall, this was an excellent story to listen to. I look forward to listening to more stories in this series, and by this author.

Bones series review

This episode in the Bones series moves quickly, captivates and follows the series whether you are reading it in order or not.

Two short

This series feels like short stories that should be in one book. Not worth my credit.

Nice little story

The characters in the story were very likable and their relationships were very interesting to read. The motive for the killing was a little week

a great who done it! I was certainly surprised.

great narration with enough twists and turns that keep me guessing till th very end!
