Dry Bones

When human bones are discovered in the cellars beneath St Luke’s College – two bodies, buried thirty years apart – the bursar, Charlie Swift, hires Jennie Redhead to investigate. As she uncovers a series of scandals stretching back sixty years, Jennie wonders how well she really knows her old friend Charlie and whether she can trust him.

Genre: Historical Crime & Mystery

Reviews

“Spencer writes with verve and humor while delivering a satisfying mystery”

Publishers Weekly

“Like the lime-mortared shaft that sets the plot in motion, Spencer's puzzle shows workmanship and beyond, since every piece must fit just so before the secret can be revealed”

Kirkus Reviews

“There’s a strong sense of time and place evoking the college atmosphere during wartime”

Library Journal
