Scattered Graves is the sixth entry in a series written by Beverly Connor, featuring forensic anthropologist Diane Fallon. Diane is the curator for the River Trail Museum of Natural History in Rosewood, Georgia. If that were not interesting and challenging enough, she is also head of the crime lab located in the same building. Or she was.

The citizens of Rosewood have elected Spence Jefferies as the new mayor and he has taken it upon himself to appoint a political crony as the new head of the crime lab.

In an effort to stand up for herself, her valued employees and the crime lab, Diane proves that the lab is actually part of the museum and most of the equipment has been purchased with museum funds.

The battle heats up until the new mayor and the chief of police are murdered and all fingers point to one of Diane’s workers.

Diane finally agrees to investigate the murders and try to clear her employee's name and get things back to normal once again.

I am a long time fan of both of Beverly Connor's series. I look forward to each new release and Scattered Graves did not disappoint.
