Game of Bones: A Sarah Booth Delaney Mystery Series, Book 20
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
The next charming mystery from Carolyn Haines featuring spunky southern private investigator Sarah Booth Delaney.
When a ritually murdered corpse is discovered at the new-found Native-American temple site smack in the middle of Sunflower County, Mississippi, the archaeology crew on the dig is immediately under suspicion — with particular focus on its handsome, flirtatious leader, Dr. Frank Hafner. So when Sheriff Coleman Peters closes in on him, Hafner does the only logical thing: he hires the Delaney Detective Agency to clear his name.
Rumors swirl around Mount Salla, the burial mound created centuries before by the local Native tribes, and no one is sure what the site contains — bones, pottery, treasures, or a curse — but the victims start to add up. Sarah Booth and her partner, Tinkie, have too many likely suspects to whittle down the list. It's a race against time once Sarah Booth's resident ghost, Jitty, in the guise of various Native American warrior women, points to the waxing of the coming Crow Moon as the time of maximum danger.
Death and mystery cloak the site, and Sarah Booth isn't sure who to trust or what to believe. But she won't rest until she's dug up the truth.

In Haines’s appealing 20th Sarah Booth Delaney mystery (after 2018’s A Gift of Bones), someone cuts the throat of archaeologist Sandra Wells and hangs her body upside down. This ritual murder takes place at a sacred Native American mound in Mississippi’s Sunflower County that a team of archaeologists is excavating. When Sheriff Coleman Peters identifies dig leader Frank Hafner, who has a reputation as a ladies’ man, as the prime suspect, Frank asks the Delaney Detective Agency for help. Sarah Booth and her partner, Tinkie Richmond, soon find several other suspects with reasons to kill, including attorney Peter Deerstalker, who may have been upset by the dig for tribal reasons. Supernatural twists seem to imply a curse, and Sarah Booth’s ghostly friend, Jitty, who haunts Sarah Booth and her home, appears in the guise of various Native American women to warn of more danger to come. Sarah Booth and Tinkie also find hints of more down-to-earth motives. Distinctive characters and an atmospheric setting elevate this paranormal cozy. Series fans and newcomers alike will be satisfied. Agent: Marian Young, Young Agency.

Archaeologist Frank Hafner hires Sarah Booth Delaney and her partner, Tinkie Richmond, after he becomes the chief suspect in the macabre murder of his colleague and rival, Sandra Wells, who was disliked by all, including her own students. The two archaeologists were digging at Mound Salla, a newly discoverd Native American burial ground in the Mississippi Delta. Soon a second murder, mimicking the first, occurs, and Sarah Booth and Tinkie begin to wonder if there is a serial killer in Sunflower County. The students are spooked by tales of angry spirits and dark magic, and a Native American attorney demands Hafner cease digging. Jitty, Sarah Booth's haint, who appears here as various long-dead women, warns Sarah Booth of grave danger to someone she loves on the night of the Crow Moon. Working closely with the local sheriff, Coleman Peters (also Sarah Booth's boyfriend), the two unravel the mystery but not before one friend disappears and someone close to them is badly injured. A dark mystery, effectively framed by its well-drawn Mississippi Delta setting.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
