A murder in small-town Utah, a town full of secrets, and a retired prosecutor's determination to expose the truth-can the killer's identity be revealed before a family with hidden secrets and everything to lose stop the prosecutor?
While vacationing in the mountains east of Ogden, Utah, retired prosecutor Maggie Anderson learns about the discovery of Audrey Stillman's body buried near the home she once shared with her former husband, Ben. Maggie witnesses Ben threatened by a gang of local cowboys and the town quickly blames him.
Haunted by her past failure to save another innocent man, Maggie offers Ben help and begins investigating.
As she delves into the case, Maggie uncovers ties between Audrey's murder and the influential Stevenson family, who control much of the town's political and economic life. It's discovered Audrey was pregnant when she died, and Maggie suspects the father may be the killer. But the deeper Maggie digs, the more secrets she uncovers-secrets that certain powerful people will go to great lengths to protect.
With help from the district attorney and her growing connection to her friend Robert, Maggie secretly collects DNA samples and interviews witnesses. As the investigation leads closer to the truth, Maggie believes the key to the murder lies within the Stevenson family itself.
Was the responsible person much closer to the victim than she realizes? If so, what lengths will be taken to keep the truth buried? Will anyone else die?
Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries and older women, Buried Bones promises a 75-year-old protagonist with compassion, a tender heart, and a thirst for justice, even when she believes she has lost her competence.
