When the mutilated remains of a young woman are found in an Appalachian Mountain cave, newly sworn-in deputy sheriff Brynn Callahan is forced to track down a killer driven by twisted motives . . . Not... This description may be from another edition of this product.
While I enjoyed the first in the Bone Gap series, Splintered Silence, this one was too dark and depressing for me. It did keep me reading, but Brynn, the main character, was really over the top in this installment. She was too much into the booze and the pills, and yes, I understand that a lot of injured war vets end up this way, but a lot do not succumb to their demons and Brynn didn't even seem to want to try. Also, this did not paint a very good picture of the Pavees, the Irish Travellers at all. Sounds as if both sides of the specturm, the Pavees and the Settled all have prejudicial issues they need to get over and get past. Too heavy into all of that. I will read the next one in the series because if you can put all of that aside, the mystery/story is pretty good albeit very dark. Not usually my kind of reading, but I will finish the series.
