The Skeletons of Birkbury was a skillfully written murder mystery set in the idyllic Cotswolds. I love scenery when I'm reading novels set in another country. I want to feel as if I'm there and Diana J. Febry is wonderful at painting a picture with her words. I loved that Chief Inspector Peter Hatherall must come to terms with a tragedy in his past to keep his personal life from interfering with his job. I loved that he didn't want to work with a woman but his fellow investigator is the beautiful Detective Inspector Fiona Williams. The finding of the old skeleton and who found it and where it was found were all so well-done. The suspense deepens as more people are added to the suspects list. I had to stay up very late to finish this because it was such a page-turner.
