My second Parrish novel & the 1st Kincaid one. Clearly written where you can almost put yourself into the places & situations described. Starting off with a tiny skull found after a hurricane to a body washed ashore. It takes off quickly when Ms. Woods needs the hero PI to follow her father, believing he is involved in misdeeds. The reader finds himself on a lonely island inhabited by q very quirky family.
The book winds it's way through the story which leads to an ending which one would not expect. The ending culminates & brings the beginning & middle stories together very well. You won't be disappointed by this one

This was my very first louis Kincaid mystery book i have ever read. When i started reading it i did't think i was going to like it. But towards the end it started to get more suspensful, more deaths, lies, deceptions. The fued between Landetta and Kincaid is fiery, and Does Frank woods finally get captured after he takes the leap of faith into the dark depths. Well i'm not telling, you'll have to read the book for yourself. You think you know whats about to happen, but Bam! it completly changes and your left wondering who could it be? what was their motive? The biggest thing though is that the ring plays a key role in the book, which is something to remember.

This is the second book I have read by this author..It's definitely a must read! Louis Kincaid reminds me of James Patterson's character, Alex Cross..When you read the description on the back of a P.J.Parrish book, you think " this sounds really good", but after reading the book it's way better than how you thought could even be. All of the characters are richly detailed and so are the story lines, they keep you reading to find out more. When you think you have figured it out, think again! Parrish is defintely a new author on my favorites list.. Check this book out, and also Unquiet Graves..You won't be disappointed!!

Parts of this book really didn't work for me. At points Kincade really did seem TSTL and Mel, for someone losing his sight, seemed to see very well when the occasion called for it. Other parts worked very well-very good suspense on the final visit to the island. I also did feel I was missing a bit not having read other books in the series. Overall, I enjoyed it.

Once again Florida is recovering from the devastation of a hurricane and Private Investigator Louis Kincaid is in the midst of it. While canvassing the damage that the hurricane has left behind, Kincaid stumbles upon a baby's skull amongst the debris. The skull appears to be old. The police are too involved with regaining order after the devastation of the hurricane to care much about where the old skull came from or to whom it belonged. Yet, Kincaid seems drawn to the remains and is determined to find their origins and give the child a proper resting place.
The skull of a child isn't the only gruesome thing that washes ashore on the Florida coast; during the hurricane aftermath clean up, the police discover the body of a woman. Undermanned, the local authorities call upon Kincaid for help with the murder investigation. Just when it seems that things could not get any stranger, a woman seeks to hire Kincaid to investigate her father, whom she believes may be involved with the murder of the discovered woman. However, Kincaid soon discovers some hidden secrets of the man he is investigating that go beyond his wildest dreams. At very first Kincaid believes that he has three separate cases on his hands until he slowly uncovers the shocking truth that links them all.
THE ISLAND OF BONES by P.J. Parrish is a compelling thriller that takes many delicious twists and turns. The character of Private Investigator Louis Kincaid is a refreshing change from the brooding stereotypical investigator so often found in novels. Kincaid is a complex, three - dimensional character with realistic flaws. The novel itself is also one that is outside the box of the "typical" mystery. The characters are vivid and the story line unique. Although ISLAND OF BONES is the fifth installment in the Louis Kincaid mysteries, it surely is a standalone novel that will please both long standing Kincaid fans as well as those new to the character.
