The skeleton turns out to be a young girl and the body was placed in situ about twenty years ago in the sixth installment of the Catherine Jewel, series. In addition, Police chief John MacDougall is looking for the prep who is responsible for the death of Tony's Father who was found in the church. Catherine learns the twins had found the girl's dairy and items she left behind. The learn the girl's name is Cornelia and that she was pregnant. This is a good addition to this series. I highly recommend this book and series.

Well written plot with excellent characterization. The interplay between the characters was both humorous and poignant. Can't wait to see what happens next with Catherine and John as well as Tony and Robin.
