A woman cop. A haunting memory.... The only female detective in the Miami PD's Homicide division, Joe Frye has memories that haunt her, and a past that not even her lover, detective Louis Kincaid, truly knows. It began when Joe was an ambitious rookie cop in a small Michigan town called Echo Bay.... The bones found in the woods were the first clue in a string of unimaginably brutal murders of young women. Plunged into a heated investigation -- and caught between the dictates of a reluctant local sheriff and the state police -- Joe soon uncovers the chilling truth: In the dead of winter in the Michigan woods, she must face down a predator who has chosen her as a worthy opponent -- or become his next victim.… (més)

RECOMMENDED!

The sister team of Kristy Montee and Kelly Nichols (who write under the pen name of P.J. Parrish) bring us the eighth installment of their bestselling Louis Kincaid detective series. However, unlike the previous installments, this one focuses on the past life of his lover and fellow Miami Homicide detective Joe Frye. The haunting memories of an investigation in a small northern Michigan town as a rookie cop. The memories of an investigation that changed her forever.

A Thousand Bones begins with an investigation into a few scattered bones in the woods of a peaceful community and spirals into a series of brutal murders and the pursuit of a chilling serial killer. The tension is built seamlessly and each of the characters is crafted with an authentic, individual voice. The character of Joe Frye is alive on the page and I felt like I actually knew her as a person in the end, not just as a character that lived through a horrific investigation.
One of the best parts of A Thousand Bones is that the action is subtle. It refrains from overt, over-the-top explosiveness, instead using a genuine level of realism often reserved for true-crime stories. This reliance on the reader to fill in some of the blanks themselves is lacking in much current fiction, but takes this work to a much higher level. It works so well that I had no problem being absorbed into the story from start to finish.

Even though A Thousand Bones is the eighth book in the series, it makes a great stand-alone work and a wonderful way to be introduced to what P.J. Parrish detective novels have to offer. I highly recommend this book. ( )

Little did I know when I picked up A Thousand Bones, well grocery shopping last weekend, that it was part of a series, turns out it was book #1…I got lucky.P.J Parrish - two sisters (Kristy Montee and Kelly Nichols) are very talented authors. This is the first time I read anything by them. I can easily see me adding this author to my favorites.One of my favorite quotes is from Thomas Helm. He quotes “My test of a good novel is dreading to begin the last chapter.” That is how I felt about this book. It was so cleverly written. I was hooked from the very first chapter. The climax started early in the book, in the form of a gut-wrenching showdown between the killer and the cops. There was so much suspense and action, I just couldn’t put the book down. There was so much depth to the characters. Especially Joe and Rafsky. I would like to see them in future books. You could really feel the chemistry between them. I also like how the setting was described. I could smell the snow and feel it crunching under my feet as I read.I really could go on forever, with positive things about this book. But I won’t. I just totally recommend it! It was outstanding! ( )

Well written, interesting story. Kept my interest, although it is not heart pounding. ( )

The writing is good, the plot moves along, but I didn't find the characters very interesting or the story very suspenseful. Set in the mid seventies when the female protagonist was the only woman on a small town police force. She is a strong character who has to deal with some typical male antagonism. She seems to be the only one on the force who is capable of solving the crimes, using some suspect intuition. The author(s) have written a popular series, but I don't think I will search them out.

I was a little disappointed when I discovered that this book did not feature Louis Kincaid. It's about Joe Frye, Louis' girlfriend and a homicide cop. I must have missed a book or two since I don't remember Joe from previous books. Either way, I'm glad I didn't put the book down. The theme is Joe's description to Louis of a case she had worked in a small Michigan town thirteen years ago. Young boys had come across a few bones. Being a rookie, Joe is relegated to getting the coffee or doing other mundane tasks but her "gut" is right more times than not and as things escalate, the police realize they have the bones from more than one victim. The case has haunted Joe for thirteen years but she has a reason for telling Louis about it now. Although she considers Miami her home, there is something about Echo Bay that keeps drawing her back. This was a riveting read...not your everyday serial killer plot. ( )
