Made for TV again (x11 cont)

 Swamp Bones by Kathy Reichs

This deserved to be a full length novel instead of a novella. The swamp as a setting was so interesting. I didn't feel like the characters had time to fully develop, nor did the story line. I really enjoyed this and wanted so much more from it. I felt short changed on how they figured out who did the murders. Finding out the handsome detective was almost picked to be the face of the modeling campaign was a big stretch to him being the killer. And only two pages from her journal with coordinates matching where the older brother did his illegal trapping? Not enough build up. Plus, how did the detective know to follow her? That wasn't answered sufficiently. It was rushed to be a short story when it was interesting enough, and frankly better than many of the previous books, and deserved to be a full book.
