Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Then the quiet was broken. The baby reached up a hand and jerked at the tablecloth. A spoon hit her on the head, and she started to cry. Bertha Schuler stuck her head out the door and called that dinner was ready. The clock in the hallway struck the half hour. And the very first shot was fired.
The unsolved murders at a remote Wisconsin farmhouse half a century ago have receded into time. But one deranged man will do anything to make sure that all of Pepin County remembers that bloody day.
The world was out of balance. It had been so for nearly fifty years. Only he could see it. Only he could change it.
When a quantity of dangerous pesticides is stolen from the local co-op, Deputy Sheriff Claire Watkins is called in to investigate. The thief has left one bizarre clue: the finger bone of a child long dead.
The pesticides soon reappear with devastating effect—in flowerbeds, in animal feed, and in a fatal concoction at a Fourth of July picnic. Each time, a tiny human bone is left at the scene. With the help of Harold Peabody, the quirky, aging editor of the Durand Daily, Claire unravels the secrets of the past, leading her to a pair of young lovers, a man enraged over his mother’s death, an obsessive recluse, and the deputy who very first discovered the corpses of the Schuler family Claire desperately races against time to find the madman before he uses the lethal pesticide again. But he won’t be stopped. Not until he gets what he wants.
The truth must be told. Or more will die. The flowers and the birds were only the beginning. . . .
Written with Mary Logue’s trademark power and compassion, Bone Harvest is a bold, brilliant thriller that carries the reader deep into the heart of the Wisconsin bluffs country, into the hearts of its people—and to a startling conclusion.

It's always fun to find a new author and I'm looking forward to more books from Mary Logue. My husband is from Wisconsin and it was great to see that Ms Logue's research was spot on. Wisconsin facts made the book more enjoyable. Good plot and interesting characters.

I really enjoyed this book. The title nearly scared me away, because I don't like "horror" books, but this was not one. It has suspense, and the title suits the story (you'll see why when you read it), but it is not gory. I have not read any of the other books in this series and did not feel I was missing anything by starting with this one. I will, however, look for another in the series to read next.

I love suspense novels, so when I came upon the title Bone Harvest I couldn't resist! I thought the title might be a bit overplayed and I might end up a little disappointed. I can definitely say I was not disappointed at all! It was creepy, suspenseful, kept a good pace, had great characters - and most of all a very satisfying conclusion!
I will warn people - this is NOT a horror novel. If you are looking for a full on gore-fest, you will have to look elsewhere, but if you like a good suspense/mystery that has the capability to reach your heart, this is the book for you.
I'll definitely be looking for more of Mary Logue's books, I'm so glad that she has more out!
