Cut to the Bone by Jefferson Bass
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I won this book from Goodreads First Reads.
Cut to the Bone is a prequal to the Body Farm series from Jefferson Bass. Since it’s part of a series I don’t want to get into too much detail in case it may spoil other books but the story takes place back in 1992 and features Dr. Bill Brockton who wants to begin his body farm to study the forensic science of decomposing bodies to help the police solve murders. Dr. Brockton works cases with the local authorities quite often getting called to crime scenes with his assistant but can’t often determine a exact time of death thus the idea of the body farm.
I haven’t read the other books in the Body Farm series but after reading this book they are certainly going to be added to my to read list. Loved the science aspects of helping solve the crimes and all of the characters and storyline in the book. Although you know in the book who the killer is, it is still filled with suspense waiting for the good doctor and the law enforcement to figure out the killer and what will be his next move. I couldn’t put this book down until finding out how it turned out and look forward to reading others from the series in the future.
