"Wonderful amateur sleuth tale"
Matt Harper is a minor celebrity in England because of his
past professional soccer playing and his present day work
as a media sports commentator. While his significant other
is in South Africa taking care of her ailing husband, Matt
is nurturing and watching over her three children. In
fact, the four of them plan to move into Elderholm and
decorate much of it before Aileen returns. Before Matt sets a moving date, he and the decorator make a
grisly discovery in the attic. They find the whole
skeletal remains of a very young child lying in the corner
of the room as if somebody put it there and forgot about
it. Matt calls in the police but since the crime happened
in 1969 it is not a high priority case. Since Matt knew
most of the children in the area during that summer he
begins investigating and discovers a conspiracy of gigantic
proportions. The protagonist of THE BONES IN THE ATTIC is a good
sensitive man eagerly taking care of three children not his
own while their mother is away taking care of their
father. Readers will get caught up in Matt's investigation
of why the child died and was left up in the attic and hope
he gets some answers quickly. The investigation is
believable and the answers will more than satisfy the
audience. Harriet Klausner
