I‘ve read a few (this was my third) of Tess Gerritsen‘s novels over the past few years. This one was more meaty than the others I‘ve read, bordering on historical fiction, which I typically enjoy, and this was my fave of hers so far. I liked it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I loved this mystery!! The dual timeline follows a current story that entwines with a story in the 1800s. It kept me enthralled and I did not want to put it down.

Ah man, this has to be one of the greatest books that Tess Gerristen has ever written.
Julia, while working in her garden, finds bones dated back to 1830. Then the story begins on how they got there, and what a story it became. Full of loving characters, love, death and a great mystery of whodunnit that I didn't even get, which I didn't see coming.
If you like history, mystery, romance, then this a book you will enjoy. I know I did.

Traci1 Is this a stand alone? I love her Rizzoli and Isles books. 3y
bookaholic1 @Traci1 yes, thou Dr. Isles appears a tad bit in the beginning 3y

This book was just ok for me. I could see the appeal for some, but going back and forth from the present to the past got to me after a while. I really enjoyed the flashback parts of the book, and could easily see that part being a stand alone book. The plot was ok, but it seemed like there were so many characters to learn about that I got caught up with this at times.

I 100% believe in this (in a different way...). Studies even say that a mom can identify her baby/child with her eyes closed just by smelling the child's head. I could for sure recognize my 6yo by his smell (under all the dirt, etc 😂).

I'm really having a hard time with the "present day" narrative. I honestly think this book could have been written with just the "past" storyline and have been enjoyable. I have 1 more hour left to the audiobook to see how the author ties the past and present together. ?

This song has been stuck in my head everytime I go to listen to this book. I really enjoy it, but there are a bunch of people you need to know about and remember: characters in the present, characters in the past, dead people. Oh my! Despite this, I am enjoying the book.

I'm really liking how this book switches from present to past. I'm enjoying the past times much better than the present day, though I know the present time must be how the book gets solved in the end. Thoroughly enjoying this so far!

Imagine discovering bones buried in your back yard... after Julia discovers human remains, she sets out on a mission to discover the story of what happened.

Meanwhile, we flashback to 1830 where resurrectionists (a term I had not heard of until this book!) are purposefully digging up human remains to sell on the black market.

Eerie and disturbing.

fleeting Sounds right up my alley! 4y

This was a great audiobook. Historical fiction. Lots of suspense. Murder mystery. Body snatching. Gruesome descriptions of medical care in the 1830s. And Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. How did anyone ever survive before hand washing became a thing?

WOW. I re-read this book for the second time and it was even better than the first time! This blend of fact and fiction story was the book that piqued my interest and ignited my love for the historical fiction genre. From the plot to the writing, The Bone Garden is one astounding read. It is definitely one of my all-time-favourites!

Rating: 5🌟

Mildly interesting. POV bounced from present day to mid 1800‘s which was initially well done but became more and more one sided character development.

This story alternates between the present day and 1830, telling the story of a woman trying to discover the identity of a skeleton she dug up in her garden. It‘s super suspenseful and was really enjoyable. More March Madness in the background! #MountTBRChallenge #25

Karkar @Pamwurtzler would I like this author? I have never read her. 6y
Pamwurtzler @Karkar I think you would. This book is a stand-alone, but she also has the Rizzoli & Isles series. The first one of those is 6y

Omg! Loved this book so much. Amazing look into historical medical world in the United States. Can‘t imagine a life like this but it happened! So cool!

ptkpepe98 Tess Gerritson's books are so good! I really enjoyed the TV series, but, ah, the books the preceded them! Wonderful!!! 6y
Charles I agree her books are good. But for some reason this book in particular hit me as fantastic 6y
reading.in.brussels Her books are really good! She writes such vivid descriptions that I had to stop reading after a few books into the series cause they creeped me out that much! 🙈 6y

NOT one of her best.

And most certainly not as engaging as any of her Rizzoli and Isles books.
Bummer.😐
