A Rumor Of Bones By Lindsay Chamberlain

Lindsay Chamberlain is the lead in the Lindsay Chamberlain series of detective thriller mysteries by American archeologist turned author Beverly Connor. The first novel in the Lindsay Chamberlain series of novels was the 1996 bestselling title, A Rumor of Bones that went on to spawn four more titles in the series.

Lindsay Chamberlain is an forensic anthropologist and archeologist. She is also a bone analysis expert and proficient in identification. Her expertise makes her an invaluable asset in the investigation of crimes as she can often see and draw conclusions from crime scenes that the hard-boiled police detectives miss. The novels always have old and new crimes that Lindsay solves using her uncanny abilities that often seem like magic until she explains her deductive reasoning.

While they unearth the usual dried corn and ancient pottery, what is even more interesting ate the bones of a man that could not have died more than 100 years back. However, the local sheriff needs Lindsay’s expertise in identifying a set of bones presumed to be those of some missing children. Things become even more interesting and muddled when some snooty lawyer that had fought tooth and nail to have them expelled from the archeological site turns up dead.

Lindsay’s first order of business is to find the lawyer’s killer and while at it help to track down a suspected serial killer. In the midst of all the new crime, she also needs to do justice to the lone skeleton that she had found on the archeological site. What follows is an intriguing story as Lindsay reluctantly finds herself engaged in amateur sleuthing that brings her all the danger and excitement that make for such a titillating mystery.
