Detective Charlie Crawford is having a tough week. First, Palm Beach’s ex-police chief washes up dead on the beach behind The Breakers. Then Charlie’s friend’s niece is abducted without a trace. As if that wasn’t bad enough, his brother just checked himself into a clinic for depression and alcoholism.The good news is Charlie’s love life has never been better…except with the woman he really loves.
Palm Beach Bones is the fourth book in the Charlie Crawford Palm Beach Mysteries series. When the body of the former Palm Beach chief of police washes up on shore, Crawford and his partner Mort Ott are on the case. Other than the obvious, that he’s been shot in the chest, no other clues are available – until forensics determines that the weapon used was the same gun used to murder a Palm Beach judge three years earlier. At almost the same time a friend of Charlie’s calls in a panic after his niece has been kidnapped. Charlie Crawford and Mort Ott are up to their eyeballs in investigations and running into all sorts of dead ends. Another excellent Tom Turner read.
Would read the rest of the series.
This is the first time I read this author and the book was really well written and a real page turner. Plan to read more in the series.
Enjoy reading Mr. Turner’s books as they are set in my home state of FL. It’s nice read about places I’ve been and know exactly where the scene is being played out in the book. Charlie Crawford and his partner Ott solve crimes for PBPD and are really great at finding resources to facilitate the catching of the culprit. Great reads. Have almost finished the next one in line PB Pretenders.
Love the Palm Beach Series!!! Entertaining & well-written (hint: a ‘prequel’ series based in NYC would be a keeper, too!)
Tom Turner is a great author. His books are always gritty with a touch of humor. I’ll read any book of his.
good character building
Great characters with enough action to keep you interested. I have read all of them so far.
Great series
Love the entire Palm Beach series. Always entertaining and a good read.
I just couldn’t get into the book.
Another page turner from a great mystery writer.
only so-so
Been a while but I enjoy his books and have read this series. Hope there is ore to follow. Love the idea of Florida and the water and beach.
Enjoy the series
Well developed, likeable, entertaining characters. Unexpected story events. Thoroughly enjoyable series.
Kept me reading.
It was ok, but a Little overboard
Liked the procedural aspect. Wished he didn’t throw in a kidnapping.
Great characters. Very good read.
