Inspirational Mystery

A killer with a penchant for torture has taken notice of forensic expert Gwen Marcey . . . and her daughter.

When Gwen Marcey’s dog comes home with a human skull and then leads her to a cabin in the woods near her Montana home, she realizes there’s a serial killer in her community. And when she finds a tortured young girl clinging to life on the cabin floor, she knows this killer is a lunatic.

Yet what unsettles Gwen most is that the victim looks uncannily like her daughter.

The search for the torturer leads back in time to a neo- Nazi bombing in Washington state—a bombing with only one connection to Montana: Gwen. The group has a race-not-grace model of salvation . . . and they’ve marked Gwen as a race traitor. When it becomes clear that the killer has a score to settle, Gwen finds herself in a battle against time. She will have to use all of her forensic skills to find the killer before he can carry out his threat to destroy her—and the only family she has left.

Re: The Bones Will Speak

I am not usually a fan of "real" mysteries that are too
detailed. Yes, I do like some romance but I also do not have to
have the romance too detailed. Good luck on your third book.
(Leona Olson 8:51am August 14, 2015)

Well, Carrie!! You sure lead a busy and exciting life!! Between those beautiful dogs, your forensic work, and your writing, it's a miracle that you found time to come here to tell us about your latest book!! I'm so glad that you did, however, because I'm itching now to get my hands on a copy. In answer to your question, I'm not sure about the Romance aspect, although I'm sure it might make the topic at hand not so heavy, if you know what I mean, which could make it a good thing. So I could go either way, as long as the Romance isn't overpowering in the book. Congratulations on your latest book, and I'll be looking forward to reading it.

Peggy Roberson 9:29am August 14, 2015)

This sounds like a fascinating book, love reading these types of stories.
(
Jean Patton 10:35am August 14, 2015)

I'm a fan of every kind of romance including thrillers and
mysteries.
(
Maria Smith 10:50am August 14, 2015)

Yes , I love Thrillers and yes I love a Romance story in with it . Thanks for this chance to win this book, it sounds like a very exciting story .
(
Joan Thrasher 11:00am August 14, 2015)

I love to see romance with my thrillers! I am a hopeless romantic and I
probably wouldn't read a thriller novel if it didn't have a romantic storyline.
(
Lily Shah 11:24am August 14, 2015)

I like a bit of romance in thrillers but it's not a requirement.
(
Kerry Shaw 11:35am August 14, 2015)

What a captivating and intriguing novel which interests me
greatly. Romance is fine but not a requirement. Your life is
certainly exciting.
(
Sharon Berger 12:04pm August 14, 2015)

It's sounds like you have a very interesting life. The book sounds great.

I do enjoy forensic thrillers with a touch of romance... they really grab my attention... draw me in! Thanks for sharing!
(
Colleen Conklin 1:07pm August 14, 2015)

I love forensic thrillers, and I do enjoy a touch of
romance. I just don't want the romance to overtake the
forensics.
(
Deb Philippon 1:24pm August 14, 2015)

I love forensic thrillers in books and on television. Romance makes everything better.
(
Robbie Bauldree 1:29pm August 14, 2015)

I enjoy thrillers with a touch of romance. What an
interesting life you have and so glad you still have time
to write forensic books that captivate the reader.
(
Shirley Sego 1:50pm August 14, 2015)

I like romance in foreensic thrillers
(
Marissa Yip-Young 2:05pm August 14, 2015)

I love forensic thrillers. I can take or leave romance in them - depends how it is done.
(
Lindsey Andronak 3:33pm August 14, 2015)

This sounds like a fantastic thriller. There are few things I like better than a great murder mystery. Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your newest work.
(
Michelle Willms 4:31pm August 14, 2015)

I do like romance mixed into my thrillers!
(
Mary Hay 6:36pm August 14, 2015)

I love a good thriller filled with romance.
(
Mary Smith 6:52pm August 14, 2015)

I love forensic mysteries! More science the better!
Romance is OK but I'm more interested in the mystery. It
takes a very strong person to sit each day in a courtroom
and listen to the horrors visited on others.
(
Janis Milford 7:18pm August 14, 2015)

Sounds like a great book!
(
Audrey Burke 6:52am August 15, 2015)

I like the forensics stuff...like to try and figure it out. I prefer the romance to be just romance.
(
Tammy Anderson 7:55am August 15, 2015)

I enjoy detailed crime stories. "Just the facts ma'am."
(
Judy Gregory 8:07am August 15, 2015)

I enjoy forensic thrillers (have been a fan of forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs for some time)but the view from the forensic artist sounds intriguing. As far as romance - as long as it doesn't overwhelm - it's OK.
(
Rita Melton 11:17am August 15, 2015)

I love books that forensic is involved in it. Your book sounds like a winner for me. It always seem to have a romance in a story like this somewhere , usually the detectives. Thanks for the chance to win. By the way - your dog is gorgeous
(
Ann Hengst 2:59pm August 15, 2015)

I love thriller or adventure novels with a little romance.
(
Jane Bennett 5:37pm August 15, 2015)

I like romance in just about everything!
(
Karen Mikusak 7:02pm August 15, 2015)

i only read a few Mystery romance. i like alot of romance
in my mystery books
(
Emily Stemp 8:02pm August 15, 2015)

I usually like reading either a forensic thriller or a romance novel, not the two combined. I suppose a little romance would be alright, as long as it doesn't distract from the main plot of the thriller.
(
Heidi Ingalls 8:16pm August 15, 2015)

I enjoy the details. Thanks.
(
Dianne McVetty 11:47pm August 15, 2015)

I do enjoy forensic mysteries. Adding romance give that extra
spice.
(
Debra Guyette 8:35am August 16, 2015)

Wow! Have you ever written a non fiction book on your
experiences?
(
Sandy Mangarella 10:35am August 16, 2015)

Looks like a very good book.
(
Kathy Church 10:35am August 16, 2015)

only read a few Mystery romance books.
(
Emily Stemp 2:57pm August 16, 2015)

I am a fan of books on serial killers and crime mysteries!
This book sounds great!
(
Cris Henry 6:38pm August 16, 2015)

I love murder thrillers. Added forensics procedures makes
them more realistic. When there is also a romantic theme,
it makes the characters more dimensional and makes them
more interesting.
(
LaCinda Jameson 12:26pm August 17, 2015)

I have gotten more into suspense and mystery mixed up with romance - we see it in shows like NCIS (which my son and I LOVE) - I think that forensic artists are so cool!
(
Felicia Ciaudelli 6:52am August 17, 2015)

Oh I love mysteries. Any type of mystery and I am in!
(
Denise Austin 1:58pm August 17, 2015)

(Wow, lots of junk comments today.)

What a fascinating career path! I've read more non-fiction crime novels in
which forensics played a part, than I have fiction-- but I'm very interested in
forensic technologies and reasoning. Thanks for writing about these!
(
Mary Ann Dimand 4:54pm August 17, 2015)

"Bones will Speak" is a great title!

Melody Kaufman 6:36pm June 10, 2016)

I definitely wouldn't want my dog coming home with a human skull as a present, but I bet it makes for a great story!

Sounds good. Can't wait to read it.
(
Valerie Miller 9:28pm June 12, 2016)

To me, books and bones are ever connected. 64 years of reading
mysteries have left their mark! This is how I feel about a
book--the hand bone connected to the book bones, the book
bones connected to the eye bones, the eye bones connected to
the brain bones, dembones, dem bones, dem bones.( yeah I know,
chalk it up to poetic license.) My bones have got a long
history, spent some time with A. Christie, so if you got a
spare mystery well, you can send it to me! Dem bones, dem
bones, dem dry bones, I have to admit they're my bones, dem
bones, dem bones, dem booooones lol
(
Sue Hieber 9:45pm June 12, 2016)

This is a thriller. It's amazing to me that you took your first book, one that had never been published, reworked it and had a winner.
