Synopsis (Goodreads):
On Widow’s Island, the secrets are dark…and everybody has one. So when Deputy Tessa Black responds to a call about an explosion in a quiet neighborhood, she gets more than she bargained for: the body of a teen who went missing weeks ago.

Until recently, Gavin was living in a reputable foster home. But now that he is found dead—Tessa can’t help but wonder if sinister forces are at play. Who would want to hurt him, and why?

With the help of her partner, Park Ranger Logan Wilde, Tessa tries desperately to decipher what happened to Gavin before another life is cut short. Someone on Widow’s Island knows the explosive truth. Will Tessa find the answers she needs before someone else turns up dead?
Thoughts on A Broken Bone: Tessa and Logan are up this time around when a otherwise ordinary call turns up a dead body in the basement of an abandoned house. While Widow's Island tends to churn up more than its fair share of dead things, this one is a wee bit fresher than most. Which...eww.

Tessa investigates and Logan backs her up beautifully. In more ways than one, really, since he's also there for her when it comes to middle of the night scares with her sick mother. Which basically means Tessa has A LOT on her plate between dead bodies and her ill mother. Fortunately for her, she has the backing of some great people to help her keep things on the straight and narrow.

But back to the investigation. Following leads and sorting through what they know, Tessa and Logan have to figure out how this dead body ended up in the basement of an abandoned house and whether the things they're uncovering are putting others in danger.

You know, I'm enjoying my time on Widow's Island even if there are WAY more dead things than a person should be comfortable with. *thumbs up*
