Buried Bones (Widow's Island #7)

Melinda Leigh2021
A college student’s murder shines light on community secrets left in the dark in the seventh Widow’s Island novella by #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melinda Leigh. All communities have their secrets…but on Widow’s Island, there’s a skeleton in every closet, as Deputy Tessa Black knows all too well. When Tessa stumbles upon a half-buried body in the woods, a peaceful morning hike suddenly turns into a race to catch a killer. Tessa identifies the skeletal corpse as Aurora Franklin, a young college student and aspiring actor. She’d come to Widow’s Island for a summer job, only to be strangled and discarded. Aurora has been dead for over a month—and not a single islander has reported her missing. The investigation reveals a dangerous predator hiding in the Widow’s Island community. With her fiancé, park ranger Logan Wilde, by her side, Tessa must find Aurora’s murderer before they strike again.

Arrrrrgh I hate finding a great new series but then realise I've missed the first 6 books! Never mind, they are now on my extremely weight TBR list! Widow’s Island is a little, out-of-the-way place. The last place you'd expect a murder but murders aplenty they have! Tessa is the only local cop with bog city experience, just as well, cos she literally stumbled over a body when out for a walk with her sister! When she calls in the troops they quickly realise that this may not be the insular murder they thought it was. Aurora is an intriguing victim - she hasn't been the nicest person to her friend but that doesn't make her worthy of murder! I loved the way Logan and Tessa work together. There a team but when it comes to law enforcement SHE's most definitely in the lead. He doesn't try to make himself head honcho or exhibit toxic masculinity - just a sure, steady partner. Absolutely loved it and can#t wait for book 8 (book 2 to me lol)
