Description
Shows signs of wear. Jacket may be torn, cover may have creases, pages have some writing and highlighting. May have some water damage. May be a former library book. If you are buying a box set item, the box may not be included.
This well-loved copy of “Family Skeletons” by Rett MacPherson is a delightful find for fans of cozy mysteries and amateur sleuths. Published in 1993, it introduced the charming Torie O’Shea, a genealogist who unravels family secrets while tracing ancestral roots. MacPherson’s debut novel pays homage to the golden age of mystery fiction, blending traditional whodunit elements with a modern, feminist perspective.
While the book’s condition reflects its many journeys through readers’ hands, the wear and markings only add to its character. Perhaps a former library patron couldn’t resist scribbling notes in the margins as they followed Torie’s investigation. Or a previous owner may have dog-eared particularly suspenseful pages. These imperfections offer a glimpse into the book’s history, inviting collectors to imagine the readings that preceded their own.
For mystery enthusiasts and genealogy buffs alike, this affordable copy presents an opportunity to discover the origins of MacPherson’s beloved series. Though the years have left their mark, the thrill of the hunt remains intact within its pages.
