Bones to Pick

Nothing is what it seems as veterinarian Ashley Hart treats avalanche victims … and is drawn into a murder investigation.

When an avalanche falls outside Aspen Falls, Colorado, veterinarian Dr. Ashley Hart opens her clinic after hours to treat a dog and a falcon for hypothermia after they spent several freezing hours trapped in an icy cave with their caretaker, local historian Jedidiah Stone -- who discovered a human skeleton during his harrowing experience, and the police suspect foul play.

Although Jedidiah seems innocent, Ashley senses he knows more about the bones than he lets on. Before long, identifying the bones becomes about much more than laying an unfortunate victim of the elements to rest—it turns into a murder investigation and Jedidiah is the main person of interest. Can Ashley decode the clues that will uncover a killer before her greatest fears are realized? If not, she might become the next person in Aspen Falls to fall prey to a cold-blooded murderer.

This clever whodunit from Annie’s Mysteries of Aspen Falls series is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, animals, female friendships, and light romance.
