About this ebook
England, 1940. Between ration books, blackout drills, and neighbors who live for gossip, Dr. Bones and Lady Juliet find keeping their romance secret challenging enough. But when a newlywed farmer falls mysteriously ill, Ben suspects poison. With the fiery Lady Juliet by his side, he fights to unmask the poisoner before his patient dies.
Meanwhile, Juliet turns her formidable detective skills on her own family. The farmer’s symptoms bring back a terrible memory: when she was sixteen years old, her parents experienced a similar illness. Her beloved father died; her mother barely survived. Old Doc Egan called it food poisoning.
But what if it was arsenic?
Behind Belsham Manor’s respectable country-house façade lie old resentments, fiercely guarded loyalties, and secrets even Juliet has never suspected. She’s never backed down from a mystery. But uncovering the truth about her father’s death could destroy everything she believes—about the people she loves, and about herself.
Combining the atmosphere of a WWII English village mystery with sharp wit and an unforgettable sleuthing partnership, Good Bones is the fifth installment in Emma Jameson’s Dr. Benjamin Bones Mysteries.
