"A Harvest of Bones"

Yes, I know this picture is not the cover for "A Harvest of Bones" by Yasmine Galenorn but that particular paperback in her Chintz 'n China series doesn't appear to be available on Amazon.com. Emerald O'Brien, Galenorn's heroine in this series, is enjoying some time off from her china shop leaving it in the capable hands of her employees. Her boyfriend, Joe, is also taking time off from his job so they can spend some time clearing the vacant lot he has purchased next to her home. However, as usual, Emerald discovers a body -- or, in this case, bones -- leading to the discovery of a 50 year old mystery that she and her friends must solve. In the meantime, Emerald's family's cat, Samantha, has disappeared leaving her children very sad. Will the solving of a 50 year old death lead to Samantha's return? Although this book is less suspenseful perhaps than some of the earlier ones in this series, it was a quick, fun read.
