Boneyard

FBI special agent Kelly Jones has worked on many disturbing cases in her career, but nothing like this. A mass grave site unearthed on the Appalachian Trail puts Kelly at the head of an investigation that crosses the line—from Massachusetts to Vermont, from wealthy vacationers to poor transients, from a serial killer to a copycat nemesis.

Assisted by law enforcement from both states and a forensic anthropologist, Kelly searches for the killers. But as darkness falls, another victim is taken. Kelly must race to save him before he joins the rest…in the boneyard.

Who Knows What Evil Looks Like?, 2008-08-18
I'm not usually a fan of serial killer thrillers. But Michelle Gagnon writes fluidly, has a winning hero, sets up a realistic scenario, and drives the suspense up to a level reached only by top thriller authors. We root for her hero, Kelly Jones of the FBI, as she relentlessly tracks the murderer even while beset by a crew of squabbling locals and by her own too human doubts. Gagnon does a fabulous (and fabulously creepy) job of getting us in the heads of two very sick psychos. Make sure you read this with the lights on. Bravo.

Creepy and Realistic, 2008-08-05
Michelle Gagnon is new to the scene. Her first book "Tunnels" was okay and had pretty good reveiws. "Boneyard" topped "Tunnels" in everyway, in my opinion of course. FBI agent Kelly Jones is sent to Massachusets to head a task force when a group of bones is found in the woods. The bones turn out to be gay men slaughtered by a sadisitic serial killer.

The killer buried the bones but were dug up by a man that has a grudge against the killer. The man is a weird police buff and wants to see what the killer gets out of killing people so he starts to imitate him as well as undermind him which leads to a pretty violent feud between two psychos. How the copycat found out about the the real killer is a mystery and why he has a grudge against him is kind of unclear but that did not stop me from reading.

As more boneyards are uncovered and more people die, Agent Jones races to find the answers. It was a faced paced book and I was into it the after the first page. If your into the serial killer genre than this is a worthy addition.

entertaining serial killer thriller, 2008-07-03
FBI agent Kelly Jones is looking forward to her first vacation in years. However the workaholic is asked by Special Agent in Charge Gerald McLarty to delay her leave when skeletal remains are found on the Appalachian Trail. She heads to the Berkshires where more corpses have surfaced.

Because the bodies are spread around with many jurisdictions involved, a battling taskforce filled with plenty of local yokels, state, county and Feds is created. However as she ignores the locals, Kelly begins to piece together the common thread between the victims; all are young and gay. The other thing obvious is the serial killer has been murdering men for years and still is active. Private security chief Jake Riley arrives to help his beloved Kelly on the investigation, but she knows the hunk is the one distraction she needs to avoid as she TUNNELS through a nasty serial killer case in which the cops are roadblocks.

The return of FBI Agent Kelly Jones (see THE TUNNELS) MAKES FOR AN EXHILARATING POLICE PROCEDURAL as she struggles with the petty jealousies of the task force members who all want glory and know who they work for; which is not her. The storyline is fast-paced and filled with plenty of non-stop action as Kelly and company work the case. The support cast, especially the prime task force members, seems genuine and Jake adds to the pressure on the heroine; while the killer is more shadowy, which embellishes the overall effect. Michelle Gagnon provides an entertaining serial killer thriller.
