Description
Present day: Julia Hamill has made a horrifying discovery on the grounds of her new home in rural Massachusetts: a skull buried in the rocky soil–human, female, and, according to the trained eye of Boston medical examiner Maura Isles, scarred with the unmistakable marks of murder.
Boston, 1830: In order to pay for his education, medical student Norris Marshall has joined the ranks of local “resurrectionists”–those who plunder graveyards and harvest the dead for sale on the black market. But when a distinguished doctor is found murdered and mutilated on university grounds, Norris finds that trafficking in the illicit cadaver trade has made him a prime suspect.
With unflagging suspense and pitch-perfect period detail, THE BONE GARDEN deftly traces the dark mystery at its heart across time and place to a finale as ingeniously conceived as it is shocking.

      • content: Julia Hamill finds an old skull buried in the garden of her newly acquired Boston home. A forensic anthropologist determines that it belongs to a murder victim, circa 1800. The story flashes back to 1830, when a killer known as the West End Reaper is terrorizing the area. Susan Denaker narrates with skill and animation even when the predictable, coincidence-prone story lose immediacy. She provides expert voices for Rose Connolly, a poor Irish seamstress; Norris Marshall, a medical student forced by poverty to assist an immoral "resurrectionist" (a grave robber supplying cadavers for medical study); and Henry Page, an 89-year-old archivist helping Julia. Denaker's performance makes listening worthwhile, although fans won't find many thrills in Gerritsen's latest. S.J.H. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine

        August 13, 2007
        At the start of this disappointing stand-alone thriller from bestseller Gerritsen (The Mephisto Club
        ), 38-year-old divorcée Julia Hamill discovers a skeleton buried in the garden of the Boston house she’s just moved into; the ring found with the remains was in fashion in the 1830s, the fractured bones suggest murder. Flashback to 1830: medical student Norris Marshall, an outcast among his wealthier classmates, meets Rose Connolly in a Boston maternity ward, where Rose’s sister recently died of childbirth fever. When several gutted bodies turn up in deserted alleyways, Rose and Norris are the only ones to catch a glimpse of the killer, dubbed the West End Reaper. Norris, Rose and Norris’s fellow student, Oliver Wendell Holmes, race to uncover the truth behind the slayings, which will remind many of Jack the Ripper’s crimes. In the present, Julia is able to trace their progress with the help of a relative of the house’s former owner. Unfortunately, neither the present nor the historical story line maintains the suspense necessary for a whodunit spanning several generations.
