"The Bones Will Tell" by Vickie McKeehan is another gripping and gruesome story about a man killing helpless victims.When 5 single attractive women are found murdered one after the other in their homes close vicinity to each other the police finally bring in Skye Cree as consultant, an intuitive Native American, whose visions have helped the police in the past.Skye is helped by her spirit guide, a silver wolf named Kiya, and her boyfriend/ partner Josh. The investigation is complicated by the tension between the couple and by family secrets that Skye uncovers along the way, which make the book rich in story lines and creates interesting sub-plots beyond the investigation.As the two of them try to uncover the identity of the murderer, the killer keeps at his evil game.McKeehan does a great job at showing us the killer and his life, she takes us into his evil mind. If you read any of her other work you'll know that she portrays evil uncompromisingly as such, pure evil.We learn about the past of the killer but this is not used as mitigating circumstances. "Who knows and who cares" why he did it, is an apt quote from the novel.The book contains some explicit scenes of violence but in creating a character as strong and positive as Skye we are left elevated by the strong female character that takes on the cowardly killer of innocent and helpless victims.It is a joy to read more of this great series, Skye is a great character that will hopefully carry many more books in the series.
