Review: THE BONE FIELD by Leonard Krishtalka

5 Stars

An exciting,  thrilling,  mystery, with a plethora of archaeological details and historical background,  THE BONE FIELD is a very engrossing and complex read. As much as I enjoyed the history,  the archaeological expositions,  and the various finely-delineated settings, from Pittsburgh's Carnegie Museums to the Wyoming Badlands, once home to Dinosaurs on the Range, for me the heart of the book was the unfolding character of the protagonist,  Harry Przewalski, former graduate student, veteran,  now private investigator.  Author Leonard Krishtalka performs an archaeological dig on his protagonist 's heart and character,  much like Harry once did during his tenure as a Paleontology graduate student. Thankfully this is the first of a series, and I plan to devour them all.
