Tumbled Graves: A Stonechild and Rouleau Mystery

Written by Brenda Chapman

Narrated by Tara Yelle

A missing child. A dead mother. Kala Stonechild is about to discover what one betrayal can lead to.

When Adele Delaney and her daughter Violet go missing, Jacques Rouleau is called upon to investigate. However, struggling with the impending death of his ill ex-wife, he sends Kala Stonechild and Paul Gundersund instead. On the second day of the investigation, Adele’s body turns up, dumped on the shoulder of the highway with no sign of her daughter. Her husband, Ivo, denies any involvement with either his wife’s death or their child’s disappearance, but not everyone is convinced. As the investigation unfolds, Stonechild learns that Adele was once entangled with a Montreal biker gang and heads to Quebec to investigate further.

As Stonechild and Gundersund juggle personal troubles and a complicated, dangerous case, they find themselves piecing together a chain of disasters leading back to a single betrayal.

[vesper1931 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Jacques Rouleau and his team have a new case to investigate when Adele Delaney and her daughter Violet go missing. Some of the team suspect the husband Ivo, but is the case that straightforward. Personal problems of Stonechild, and Rouleau make life more difficult
An entertaining well-written mystery, with in the main its likeable characters

[rowingrabbit · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

4.5 starsFantastic addition to this series. Each book seems richer as these characters are developed further & we follow them through their personal & professional challenges. Big changes for Kala in this one & no perfect shiny ending with all loose ends ties up in pretty bows. There are a few side plots that I hope will be carried over into book #4 so I'll be waiting (im)patiently.
