It's a bloody mystery

I like a good mystery. I have read a few of Kathy Reichs' "Bones" novels and watched a few episodes of the TV show based on the same character  (Reichs is a producer and occasional writer). I prefer the books. I love them for their humour, characters and the Montreal settings--that don't figure in the TV version.
This one, Flash and Bones, is set entirely in the Charlotte, N.C. area, at the time of a big NASCAR race. NASCAR owns a corner of my heart, too; one of Neil's cousins was a successful driver (Earl Ross, only Canadian ever to win Rookie of the Year). And I have fond memories of the similar culture at the drag races in Grand Bend many Sundays in my teenage summers. It is a well-constructed mystery, gruesome in parts, as usual. I found it hard to put down.
(Cost $3.50: enjoyment, well worth it)
