Sarah Booth Delaney Mysteries, Book 26

By: Carolyn Haines

Narrated by: Kate Forbes

Carolyn Haines's Tell-Tale Bones marks the next novel in the series that Kirkus Reviews characterizes as “Stephanie Plum meets the Ya-Ya Sisterhood” featuring sassy Southern private investigator Sarah Booth Delaney.

Private Investigator Sarah Booth Delaney and her partner Tinkie are in Sheriff Coleman Peters's office, consulting Coleman about cold cases, when Elisa Redd storms in with a case of her own. She wants Coleman to reopen the investigation of her missing daughter, Lydia Redd Maxell, the heiress to a large fortune who disappeared along with her friend Bethany nearly seven years ago.

Great story

Loved listening- great story with fantastic plot twists. The narrative was a bit stilted but I got used to it as the story progressed.

Too much pro abortion polemic

Could not finish the book owing to the pro abortion polemic that the author puts in the mouths of every character at every point.

Excellent as always!

Another great book. This author never disappoints. Great reading, great story, can’t wait for the next book!

Another Great Story

Thank you so much for these wonderful books! It’s so much fun listening to stories from areas I recognize. You may know the main characters but they will keep you guessing!

I also enjoy the voice of the Narrator. Thank you for the same one for all the books.

Great books

This is the last in the series so far and I will be anticipating the new release in 2024. The only negative would be that the narrator sounds too old to be a 34 year old. I picture all the characters in their mid to late 40’s.
