Publisher's Summary:

Skeletons have a habit of revealing themselves eventually....

When a human skeleton is discovered on the boundary of a 20-year-old property development, it seems there are a large number of people who may know the identity of the corpse and how it got there. But 20 years is a long time, and those individuals were very different people back then. Skeletons are being revealed in all senses, and there are many prominent local figures who are beginning to feel uncomfortable and afraid. It's up to Detective Chief Superintendent Lambert and Detective Sergeant Hook to dig around in the past and unearth the truth of how and why the body ended up buried in the ground all those years ago.

Members Reviews:

Didn't live up to it's promising start

A perfectly adequate read, but one that I feel failed to live up to the promise shown in the earlier part of the book, when I felt the book unfolding before me like a movie. I could hear the characters speaking and visualise what was happening on the page.

As the book progressed, or rather failed to progress, it seemed the story stalled and what could have been a riveting read never quite materialised.

Apparently this is the 28th in the Lambert and Hook series, but is quite able to be read as a standalone as it is not constantly referring to past cases/relationships.

A human skeleton is unearthed by a young man digging over a plot for a vegetable garden for his grandfather. Test reveal that the body has been interred for approximately 20 years and the investigating team of Detective Chief Superintendent Lambert and Detective Sergeant Hook are being stonewalled in their enquiries into how the body came to be there and who was responsible for the death.

Skeleton Plot

I have enjoyed reading JM Gregson but this one? A skeleton is found at the edge of a farm sold to a neighbor. A grieving mother believes it is her daughter. After 20 years, the motherâs and corpseâs DNA match. The characters were believable in the beginning as were the sorrows. Lambert and Hook came to the rescue, unearthing the society of young people doing drugs, buy and selling, and living rough in squats.

But the murder is 20 years old and finding information, especially from those who remember but with to keep secrets, is tedious. Somewhere along the path, the chase almost ends.

Lambert, Detective Chief Superintendent, appeared to be feeling every bit of his extended time as the position and dearly wanted to end it. I stopped reading for a while and then finished the book. The story was ok.

The development of the characters is slow and in the end while revealing does not lead anywhere. When the perpetrator is finally revealed the time the reader spends with the other characters is wasted, since the arc of their development is not persuasive. Finally,the authors constant use of slang for heroin and cocaine (horse and coke) gets to be boring. Gregson has written better

Whodunit ? Who Cares!

This police procedural is part of a series about English policemen, and although it's a short book at 220 pages, it's a deadly slow read.
