Just finished the book at 6 a.m. today. Was a thrill ride. This was a used book given to me and sat on the shelf for several years. Liked the characters and Mayan background. Only one problem was her overly tantruming reaction to 'Issac's' role. He helped her and loved her and tried to protect her. She seemed to just throw him over much as she had all the people in her life. Hope there is a sequel where she can be more emotionally mature.
Webs of deceptions and murders

I swear this was a shot in the dark when I read it and I never thought I would actually be hooked on it til the end. I am so glad I took a chance and read it. Iris Lanier, the main character, a forensic anthropologist; life was interrupted she received a telegram about her father who fell sick back in New York only to arrive to a realization that he had been shot in close range in some dark alley. Her father being there was totally out of character to her and mystery turned deeper and the web became bigger every each founding, only to find to a name that hadn't surface for a while, Clary; her long runaway mother. In search for the truth, she stumbled into webs of deceptions, murders and hidden crimes. The ending bugs me though. Bugs me to the bones cause I want to know about what happened to that one particular character. Hence why I gave it a four.
Couldn't put it down; need to find out if there's a sequel.

Very intriguing plot that had me asking questions about each of the characters. I hope the characters will show up in another novel.
Highly recommended!

I have become a big fan of Darian North. Both Criminal Seduction and Bone Deep were well thought out and well written. The stories are both interesting and entertaining -- so much so, that you don't really want to put these books down. I found Bone Deep to be especially interesting. The main character, Iris Lanier, has the kind of job (anthropologist) that allows her to delve into peoples' pasts. As the story rolls along, we are able to delve, slowly and carefully, in her past. This allows for all kinds of analogies to be drawn both by Iris and the reader. Bone Deep is an excellent book and I highly recommend it.
