Dry Bones

Private investigator Jennie Redhead finds her loyalties divided when she investigates the decades old murder of a college student. Oxford 1974, in the cellars beneath St Luke's College, a sealed mediaeval ventilation shaft is opened up to reveal human bones. Two bodies, buried 30 years apart, but is there a connection? Desperate to protect the colleges reputation and finances, the bursar, Charlie Swift, hires his old friend, Jennie Redhead, to find the identity of the two victims.
This is a well written historical mystery. The parts that go back during the war make intresting reading. When the remains of two skeletons were discovered, instead of calling the police they moved them to a lab on campus. Bursar, Charlie Swift, wants to keep the find quiet, but does Charlie know more than he's letting on? He refuses to call the police and Jennie's task is nearly impossible. The more you read of this book, the more you won't know who to trust.
I would like to thank NetGalley, Severn House Publishers and the author Sally Spencer for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.
