England, 1783: In Island of Bones, Crowthers haunting past is at last revealed. For years he has pursued his forensic studies - and the occasional murder investigation - far from his family estate.

Fans of both historical fiction à la Anne Perry and the intricate forensics of Tess Gerritsen will be delighted by Robertsons latest.

This series is now on my favorites list
I like these characters. I appreciate that their relationship isn't predicated on teetering constantly on the edge of romance. I enjoy that they appreciate each other for their skills, for what each one brings to the investigation. I like that they have families and friends that continue to exist even when the story focus moves away from them. The author has created an interesting cast that is rather large, but she handles their numbers rather deftly (although I'm tempted at times to keep notes so I don't get confused - who was that? A trick I have to employ with Dickens.) Emotions ring true. People are imperfect and make mistakes. Even our heroes make mistakes, sometimes awful ones. Villains are seldom complete monsters, more often complex with real hurts and motivations of their own.
The author seems to know a lot about the history of this time, and cares enough about it to be consistent, and to employ elements and events large and small in her story lines. I get an impression of a lot of research, of an encyclopedic command of the details. Characters have conversations studded with topics and terms showing real familiarity with period skills and news of the day, world events are pressing on their minds, they are plagued by the limits of period science and belief, they are completely creatures of the world that Robertson has recreated. It is a treat to spend some time in that world looking around corners, noticing the little treasures and delights scattered in your path all for the sake of atmosphere and immersion in the time period.
I recommend this book without hesitation.

If you could sum up Island of Bones in three words, what would they be?
Wonderful Character Development
What did you like best about this story?
Great visual depiction
What three words best describe Jenny Sterlins voice?
OK, but limited lower (mens) voices
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
NO. Neither
Any additional comments?
I've read many mysteries taking place from the medieval times to Victorian. Robertson, is one of my top 3...Ariana Franklin, C.J. Sansome.. in their ability to make you feel you are actually with the characters and you experience what they do. The subtle nuances of historical detail...dress, transportation, food, language, etc. are spot on.
Post American Revolution England - Mystery Series
This installment -the third in the series allows the reader to learn more about Crowther's hidden past. The mystery was fantastic! This was an audible book and once again the narrator, Jenny Sterlin, did a wonderful job.
The atmosphere is beautifully described by the author. This author has created a series with characters lively and complex. This book goes beyond mystery as it grips the reader in the tangled web of family secrets.
