I love books that have a synopsis that mentions a serial killer. I know that sounds morbid, but that means that the body count will be high and that there should be plenty of action written in the story to capture my attention. In Carrie Stuart Parks second novel, The Bones Will Speak, Parks does exactly what I wanted. She is a great fit for the suspense genre.Since Gwen Marcey is a forensics expert who reconstructs faces from the victim’s memory or from a skull, the story gripped my attention from the first chapter. I liked how Gwen’s dog found the skull and brought it home to her. This sparked Gwen’s thirst for a mystery. And mine. I couldn’t wait to turn the pages and find out who the killer was and who the skull belonged to. The story never lagged. Parks did a great job at keeping my attention, even though I did figure out who the killer was pretty early on. I still kept flipping the pages, glued to the action to prove that I was right or wrong.Gwen is a newly divorced woman who recently surpassed breast cancer. While trying to raise her daughter and living with the struggles of paying her bills, Gwen comes across mysteries, needing her expert opinion to solve the case. Gwen is the typical mother that too many women today can relate too. She wants to be a good mother and shelter her daughter from the horrors of her daily job, but she also wants to allow her daughter to have some freedom. The never-ending struggle consumes her thoughts and life.The writing is written with close attention to the colors and details of the surroundings. Parks does a good job at allowing the readers to follow the first person point of view of an artist. I really enjoyed how Parks invites the reader into Gwen’s stream of concinsous to solve the murders.
