Bone of Contention

A Cold Case Mystery, Book 1

By: Kristi Rose

Narrated by: Jennifer Stoneking

From the USA Today best-selling author comes an action-packed, roller-coaster ride, new cold case mystery series that will have your pulse racing. For fans of Kendra Elliott and Debra Webb.

US Marshall Mallory Bodine’s short visit back to her central Florida hometown quickly turns into work when a skeleton is unearthed in her mom’s backyard. Mallory is caught up in the middle of a cold-case murder investigation as she searches for answers.

Who killed the perky, loveable schoolteacher?

Four local hoodlums are a convenient fit as the killers—for the lazy, complacent sheriff, that is—but the local detective and Mallory want the truth. Was it an act of vandalism that got out of hand? Or something more sinister?

Digging through 14 years of lies won’t be easy. Murder never is.

Meet Mallory Bodine, fugitive hunter. No case has been cold for too long, and for Mallory, the dead are not forgotten.

Allowed the victim to have a voice

I like the idea that even after 14 years, the victim got justice. And at the very end of the story, the family got to say goodbye finally to their beautiful sister/daughter.
