Bones of the Redeemed by Kari Bovee

There are just some authors that can drop you into a historical timeline with such ease that you feel like you were born there. Kari Bovee is one of those authors. She has a gift for storytelling that leaves the reader always wanting more of her stories!

Bones of the Redeemed takes place in 1950’s New Mexico. Ruby Delgado, an archaeology grad student stumbles across a buried pile of bodies that clearly do not belong at the dig site. She knows something is not right, but as she digs deeper, it seems that what she uncovers is dangerous, and no one believes her. She might just be the only person willing to save the town, but can she stay safe while doing it?

This was a story absolutely stuffed with action and adventure! The mystery was dark and twisted, and completely awesome! Bovee added so much suspense to the story, I felt like I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next!

Ruby, the main character, was perfect for the story. She’s clearly the kind of woman that is willing to take matters into her own hands to right a wrong. I loved her brave personality. She definitely jumped into situations that I would run from, and it was fun to go along with her on this journey!

Overall, I thought this was a great book. It was very well-written with an excellent plot and characters that I loved!

To Read or Not To Read:

I would recommend Bones of the Redeemed for readers that enjoy a historical mystery with lots of action!

A pit of corpses. An ancient cult. A quest for redemption that could leave her dead…

New Mexico, 1952. Archaeology grad student Ruby Delgado is plagued by guilt after losing her son. So when her latest excavation drops her down a sinkhole filled with suspiciously mutilated bodies, she’s driven to bring the murderer to justice. But when digging deeper brings her dangerously close to a sinister religious sect, she could be their next sacrifice…

Discovering some of the victims were crucified, Ruby pushes hard to give the evidence to the authorities. But when her trail crosses the path of a beaten man left for dead in the desert, she realizes she may be the only person who can save the community.

Can Ruby stop the sacrifices and slay her inner demons, or will hers be the next body laid to rest?

Bones of the Redeemed is a hair-raising standalone Southwestern mystery. If you like complex heroines, cult conflict, and hard-won redemption, then you’ll love Kari Bovee’s grisly tale.
