The Bone House by Brian Freeman


This is a mystery, but the Bone House is actually a house that is owned by the Bone family, not a house full of bones! Still it is a good mystery. Mark Bradley is a teacher - well he was until he was accused of an affair with a student. He and his wife, Hilary, stay in their little town because she is still teaching there. To escape from the scrutiny of the town, they spend spring break at the beach. Hilary is a dance coach and some of her former students are competing there. The night before they are to leave, Mark can't sleep and so he goes for a walk on the beach. Bad idea! He runs into a girl who is later found murdered. Although he is under suspicion, he is allowed to go home. Hilary is determined to prove that her husband had nothing to do with the crime. To do that she ends up trying to find out about a crime that was committed many years ago. Interesting book but not too taxing for the brain. Perfect for summer!
