Dr Josiah Bartlett #5
Deadly Return
The curse is finally over…or is it?
Doctor Josiah Bartlett can finally start to enjoy his retirement from being both the village doctor and an amateur sleuth. But all too soon strange things are happening once again in Concord, Massachusetts.
The bodies of two former victims of the Chase killings are stolen from their graves and in their place is left the skeleton of a stranger. As warnings begin to appear around town – skulls hanging from porches, shots being fired – Bartlett begins to consider that the impossible may have happened.
The killer appears to be back wanting revenge against those who wronged him, starting with Bartlett…

Needs edited
This is the first book I've read by this author and while the story was decent, the errors in continuity and editing kept pulling me away from the actual storyline. Also, this is supposed to have taken place in the late 1800 s, the language is laughable. I can almost always find something redeeming in a book, but for me, this was a hard pass.

A good book may require slow reading. I found myself reading a short time and putting it down and closing the book. I think because of the story line it is a intense book with a difficult story to tell especially with what is on the news almost every day. It is a very well written and good novel. I highly recommend it.

1865 Concord in the Sleepy Hollow cemetery the bodies of Mary and Sarah Chase have disappeared. Replaced with another one. But what about Henry Chases' body, where is it. Dr Bartlett starts to formulate a theory.
An interesting historical mystery.
But needs proof reading
