About The Bones At Point No Point:

How do you catch a killer who's already behind bars?

Thomas Austin was once a star NYPD detective, known for locking up a psychopathic serial The Holiday Baby Butcher . Now retired in a small beach town, Austin runs a little café, trying to overcome the loss of his wife, a district attorney who was gunned down only one year ago.

But when a mysterious bag of bones appears on a nearby beach, Austin is dragged back into law enforcement for one last job. The Holiday Baby Butcher is behind bars, so it has to be a copycat. But with each new clue, the killer seems closer and closer to the real thing.

Now Austin must overcome the darkness of his past to chase a killer as twisted as any America has ever seen. And when Austin finally learns the truth, it's a twist so shocking it shakes him to his core, and threatens his life.

My Thoughts:

I was reading Unquiet Bones by David J. Gatward just before this book. In fact, I was reading it when I bought this book. At first I thought that, that title suited this story better than The Bones At Point No Point. However, at the end of it, not anymore.

I think I've been reading too many similar stories. JD Kirk's A Whisper Of Sorrows is a copycat story. Both are serial killers taking kids. I sometimes get the plots confused in my head!

The ending was ok, I guess. But I saw it coming...

This is my second audiobook by Joe Hempel and I would buy audiobooks by him again.
