I read only one book this week. It has been a crazy time with High School reunions, weddings, graduation and more.

Anyway, this week, I read Sing it to her bones. I try to read books written by people I know.

I have to say I loved it.

Hannah Ives is recovering from cancer. She goes to visit her sister in law and while walking the dog discovers a body in the cistern of a nearby abandoned farm. As she begins to poke into the murder, for murder it is, Hannah’s own life become at risk. She is warned away several times and then a van drives her off the road and into a pond. She just survives that, but other, more dangerous attempts soon follow.

At the same time, her husband has been accused of sexual harassment. Hannah does not know whether to believe his protestations of innocence or not.

The story is flavored with sailing lore and tips, and the sail boat plays an important part at the end.

I will definitely continue this series.
