Synopsis
Welcome to the town of Tullulah, where Southern charm just got a whole lot deadlier...
Jane Thistle and Phoebe Twigg are as different as two best friends can be: Phoebe has never seen any reason to leave her small Alabama hometown, while Jane, once happily married to a career military officer, has traveled all over the world. But somehow, these two women, both of them widowed, always manage to make life in the slow lane a wild ride...
“Gutsy gals...paranormal twists...amusingly cozy.”—Kirkus Reviews
Yes, Tullulah can be a sleepy little town. But no one sleeps through the night a violent thunderstorm knocks down a tree on Jane’s property—one that uncovers a pile of skeletal remains beneath. Thanks to her travels, Jane happens to know a bit about archaeology, and has friends in high places. So she invites an archaeological expert to come over for a look...only to find that things in Tullulah are not at all as they seem. Now it's up to the town's superior senior sleuths Thistle and Twigg to dig up the truth.
“An entertaining and innovative series…brims with intelligence, humor, and insightfulness.” —Carolyn Hart, author of Dead Days of Summer

March 19, 2008: In normally sleepy Tullulah, Alabama, best friends Jane Thistle and Phoebe Twigg vow to not get involved in any investigation after their recent harrowing experience (see THISTLE AND TWIGG). Instead the duo works together on the upcoming annual Halloween bash hosted at the local library.----------------- While they toil together, a severe thunderstorm causes some damage including uprooting a tree on Jane?s land. After the storm passes, the two women go outside to assess the damage to Jane?s property only to find the remains of a human had been buried there. Based on information in the library, Jane and local law enforcement officials believe that corpse is probably part of an Indian burial site. Still experts are asked to confirm the prevalent theory while Jane joins the dig as she has archeological skills amongst her global travels. Meanwhile she and Phoebe discuss the vanishing of a popular senior.---------------------- This enjoyable small town regional cozy is fun to follow due to the strong friendship that contrasts the extroverted and introverted BFs. The story line simmers down two paths that soon link as the amateur sleuths become embroiled with the mysteries of the corpse and the disappearance while also working on the bash. MIGHTY OLD BONES is a fine T&T tale.--------- Harriet Klausner
