Product Information

With his wife, Charlotte Elkins, he has also co-written a series of golf mysteries about LPGA member Lee Ofsted. They shared an Agatha Award for their short story "Nice Gorilla". While the locales might be somewhat repetitive, Elkins uses the return of previous characters to keep the reader highly enthralled in the tale. With his successful story writing techniques, Elkins uses the narrative (and dialogue) to both entertain and educate. Dr. Gideon Oliver is a wonderfully refreshing academic-type, complete with his eccentric nature and strong-mindedness. While some of the teachable moments seem forced, “So, Gideon, what is a coma?” the majority of the learning the reader will undertake can be seen as useful and academic, complete with Latin and technical phraseology. In another series, the protagonist is museum curator Chris Norgren, an expert in Northern Renaissance art. I found it a pleasant enough read, but I don’t know about the believability of some of the mystery solving clues. I did think it was a clever enough solution, but there wasn’t a ton of drama or suspense to it, it felt more like an anthropologist travel log than a mystery in need of solving, but maybe that’s to be expected when the main character looks at bones which probably are almost always cold case related more than really recent/urgent issues. section label=”Media Left Large” bg_color=”rgb(247, 247, 247)” bg_overlay=”rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85)” padding=”0px”]

The "Skeleton Detective", who is really creation-anthropology professor Gideon Oliver, goes to Mexico with his wife, Julie, for a little vacation at her family's expat relatives. What was to be spent reading, eating and visiting old ruins turns into mystery solving. Not just one possible murder but three!

Aaron J. Elkins AKA Aaron Elkins (born Brooklyn July 24, 1935) is an American mystery writer. He is best known for his series of novels featuring forensic anthropologist Gideon Oliver—the 'skeleton detective'. The fourth Oliver book, Old Bones, received the 1988 Edgar Award for Best Novel. As Oliver is a world-renowned authority, he travels around the world and each book is set in a different and often exotic locale.

Gideon accompanies his wife, Julie, to the charming little Mexican village of Teotitlan del Valle in the state of Oaxaca, where Julie's expatriate relatives, the Gallaghers. operate a dude ranch resort. Up to his ears in forensic work at home, Gideon can use a break, and he looks forward to a week of leisure and touring. Teotitlan is an out-of-the-way weavers village, peaceful and virtually crime- and drug-free. What could go wrong? The great thing about decorating a blank canvas (or skull in this case) is that you get to create your vision and make the ideal piece for your home.
