Penzler Pick, May 2001: This is Tom Corcoran's third Alex Rutledge mystery, in a series set in the Key West tourists rarely see. Rutledge, a forensic photographer, lives among the eccentrics who make Key West their year-round home. He has made his share of enemies on the island and has romanced many of the women, so there is a feeling of family about this series--with all the dysfunction that word can imply.
Rutledge is photographing a construction project when he is approached by two women, both of whom have ties to the construction project (and apparently to everything else of importance in Key West). Within minutes Rutledge is set upon by two young men who definitely mean him harm. He fights them off. Within hours, Rutledge is called out to photograph two murders--a man dressed in women's clothes and a headless corpse lying on a bench. Rutledge finds himself trying to make sense of the two murders and how they are connected with the attack on him, while also butting heads with some important locals, including Butler Dunwoody, a project developer new to town.
Rutledge can't help feeling suspicious of Dexter Hayes, the watch commander who calls him to photograph the first body. The son of a disgraced cop, Hayes makes no effort to keep the integrity of the crime scene intact and dismisses Rutledge from the scene soon after he starts photographing. Then ex-sheriff Tommy Tucker, another disgraced officer, asks Rutledge to meet with Mercer Holloway, a more entrenched island property developer.
Soon Rutledge is up to his neck in murder and intrigue, and the worst part is trying to tell the good guys from the bad. Corcoran writes in a concise and breezy style, and Alex Rutledge should be attracting more fans to his laid-back lifestyle, which always includes a murder or two. --Otto Penzler

Download Description
A January Sunday morning in Key West, hours before tourists will stagger from their motels to swarm the island. Freelance photographer Alex Rutledge enjoys the near-vacant streets, taking pictures for his own enjoyment. Within minutes, Rutledge is jumped by thugs with knives, but smarts and luck allow his escape. Two hours later the city police request Rutledge's forensic photo expertise when a murder victim has been found-at the same construction site. An hour later, the new county sheriff, Chicken Neck Liska, asks Rutledge to photograph another murder victim in a remote area of Stock Island. A pleasant Sunday in the Keys has turned into a nightmare. During the next 24 hours, Rutledge will suspect that the two murders are linked -through him. There is no identifiable antagonist, no motive, no reason for Rutledge to be a hub for evil. Rutledge must gather information to protect himself and others, to avoid arrest, and to trace a possible motive for the killings. As Alex tells his woman friend, Teresa Barga, "Finding information on this island is like pushing a yacht to the top of a lighthouse."

Bone Island Mambo rocks.......2005-08-15
Alex Rutledge isn't Travis McGee, but he's getting there! Well worth a read.
Enjoyable with a couple missed twists.......2004-07-29
I thought Tom Corcoran did a fine job with this Alex Rutledge Mystery. A good story, clever dialogue and a somewhat angled climax. I did think he missed a couple of opportunities to add in a needed twist, however it was still worth the read.
Dry, Flat, and Boring.......2002-08-23
This author can write, so it is hard to believe that he could take a number of murders, attacks, shootings, and a car chase and chew them and chew them and chew them until there was no "juice" left. I got so impatient with the illogical fretting of the "hero" - that I skipped the last third of the book and went to the end to see who dunnit and why. Wish I had skipped that too since there was no satisfaction in it. I am greatful, however, to realize that this book was only one of a series and I have managed NOT to read the others. I congratulate myself for that!
Tom Corcoran Does It Again!.......2002-05-16
Tom Corcoran treats us to another look at the life of Alex Rutledge. It is filled with his trademark wit, grit and "Key Westicisms" that can only come from the man that photographed Jimmy Buffett in his early days. I'm dying for the next one, Tom!
Flamboyant Novel.......2001-06-08
Tom Corcoran's steamy depiction of the Flordia Keys and their colorful denziens will stir up ghosts for anyone who has spent time there. This Alex Rutledge mystery explores a series of murders as the bodies pile up in this tranquil resort town. Rutledge realizes that there is a connection between the murders and that he is the common denominator--then this book really picks up steam!

Island of Bones.......2007-03-11
This was my first louis Kincaid mystery book i have ever read. When i started reading it i did't think i was going to like it. But towards the end it started to get more suspensful, more deaths, lies, deceptions. The fued between Landetta and Kincaid is fiery, and Does Frank woods finally get captured after he takes the leap of faith into the dark depths. Well i'm not telling, you'll have to read the book for yourself. You think you know whats about to happen, but Bam! it completly changes and your left wondering who could it be? what was their motive? The biggest thing though is that the ring plays a key role in the book, which is something to remember.
Must Read.......2006-03-13
This is the second book I have read by this author..It's definitely a must read! Louis Kincaid reminds me of James Patterson's character, Alex Cross..When you read the description on the back of a P.J.Parrish book, you think " this sounds really good", but after reading the book it's way better than how you thought could even be. All of the characters are richly detailed and so are the story lines, they keep you reading to find out more. When you think you have figured it out, think again! Parrish is defintely a new author on my favorites list.. Check this book out, and also Unquiet Graves..You won't be disappointed!!
Enjoyable, but not great........2005-04-10
Parts of this book really didn't work for me. At points Kincade really did seem TSTL and Mel, for someone losing his sight, seemed to see very well when the occasion called for it. Other parts worked very well-very good suspense on the final visit to the island. I also did feel I was missing a bit not having read other books in the series. Overall, I enjoyed it.
Deadly secrets........2004-11-05
Once again Florida is recovering from the devastation of a hurricane and Private Investigator Louis Kincaid is in the midst of it. While canvassing the damage that the hurricane has left behind, Kincaid stumbles upon a baby's skull amongst the debris. The skull appears to be old. The police are too involved with regaining order after the devastation of the hurricane to care much about where the old skull came from or to whom it belonged. Yet, Kincaid seems drawn to the remains and is determined to find their origins and give the child a proper resting place.
The skull of a child isn't the only gruesome thing that washes ashore on the Florida coast; during the hurricane aftermath clean up, the police discover the body of a woman. Undermanned, the local authorities call upon Kincaid for help with the murder investigation. Just when it seems that things could not get any stranger, a woman seeks to hire Kincaid to investigate her father, whom she believes may be involved with the murder of the discovered woman. However, Kincaid soon discovers some hidden secrets of the man he is investigating that go beyond his wildest dreams. At first Kincaid believes that he has three separate cases on his hands until he slowly uncovers the shocking truth that links them all.
THE ISLAND OF BONES by P.J. Parrish is a compelling thriller that takes many delicious twists and turns. The character of Private Investigator Louis Kincaid is a refreshing change from the brooding stereotypical investigator so often found in novels. Kincaid is a complex, three - dimensional character with realistic flaws. The novel itself is also one that is outside the box of the "typical" mystery. The characters are vivid and the story line unique. Although ISLAND OF BONES is the fifth installment in the Louis Kincaid mysteries, it surely is a standalone novel that will please both long standing Kincaid fans as well as those new to the character.

interesting, entertaining, probably worth reading if you read quickly, but the story line is so implausible as to be a bit annoying.

Book Description
Sabarl island—created, in myth, from the bones of a serpent—is a coral atoll in the Louisiade archipelago of Papua New Guinea. The Sabarl speak of themselves as true "islanders": persons separated from the means of both physical and social survival. The Sabarl struggle for continuity—of the physical and social person and of social relations, of cultureal values, of paternal influence in a matrilineal society—is the subject of Debbora Battaglia's sensitive ethnography of loss and reconstruction: the first major work on cultural responses to mortality in the southern Massim culture area and an important contribution to studies of personhood in Melanesia.
The creative focus of Sabarl cultural life is a series of mortuary feasts and rituals known as segaiya. In assembling and disassembling commemorative food and objects in segaiya exchanges, Sabarl also assemble and disassemble the critical social relations such objects stand for. These commemorative acts create a collective memory yet also a collective experience of forgetting social bonds that are of no future use to the living. Sabarl anticipate this disaggregation in patterns of everyday life, which reveal the importance of categorical distinctions mapped in beliefs about the physical and metaphysical person.
Using remembrance and forgetting as an analytic lens, Battaglia is able to ask questions critical to understanding Melanesian social process. One of the "new ethnographies" addressing the limits of ethnographic representation and the fragmented nature of knowledge from an indigenous perspective, her finely wrought study explores the dynamics of cultural practices in which decontruction is integral to construction, allowing a new perspective on the ephermeral nature of sociality in Melanesia and new insight into the efficacy of cultural images more generally.
Customer Reviews:
Interesting people, less interesting author.......2000-05-03
This is an ethnography of the Sabarl Islanders of New Guinea, and Battaglia creates the following categories to describe them: Part I is "The Person: Basic Distinctions," Part II is "Relational Personhood" and Part III is "The Person Performed." Battaglia writes using the assumptions of a "perspectivist" ["postmodern," deconstructive," "poststructural"] anthropology, and uses typical postmodern jargon that I personally find grating. I sometimes wondered if the Sabarl were as candid with her as she assumed, as she was 26 when she first arrived at the island, and she seemed a bit naive throughout her book. This book, like most ethnographies, is fascinating to read with regard to opening one's mind to other ways of viewing the world. However, I think Battaglia's observations should be taken with more than a few grains of salt. (But mine probably should be, too.)
Product Description
Treasure Island is considered one of the first adventure stories written specifically for adolescents without an obvious emphasis on teaching morals. This is not to say that Robert Louis Stevensons novel about a young boy is without lessons but rather that its emphasis is a coming-of-age story filled with challenges, fears, and triumphs like any exciting and fun-filled journey of exploration. The lessons are learned through the characters decisions and mistakes, which makes them more lifelike and less didactic.
Stevenson has stated that the story was inspired by a detailed map he drew from his imagination. This map, Stevenson wrote in an essay called Treasure Island, was elaborately and (I thought) beautifully coloured; the shape of it took my fancy beyond expression; it contained harbours that pleased me like sonnets; and with the unconsciousness of the predestined, I ticketed my performance Treasure Island.

very good product that creates an interesting culture.......1998-04-03
This campaign setting focuses on an iron-age people who seem to be a cross between Plains Indians and Vikings, with a little Celtic thrown in. The set is excellent at creating a feeling for the culture and incorporating interesting rules changes and new spells and rituals into the game. There are sections on the beliefs and practices of the Knorrmen and even a section on ritual magic that any character may use, which is an excellent idea for many settings, not just this one. There could have been more detail on the physical layout of the island and a listing of more clans and villages, but these can be created by the Dm from the available information. There are eleven new warrior kits and a few for other character classes as well. Some of the warrior kits seem to be underpowered for their restrictions, but at least none of them are overpowered. The whole setting seems to be designed for low level adventuring. This setting is useful for those who want a different feel for their campaign in a low magic milieu. A lot of the ideas and rules in this package can be used in other campaigns without much alteration, so it is worth getting just for the ideas alone, even if you never plan to play in the setting itself.

Book Description
Is Bone Island a murder mystery? A ghost story? A post-modern wonder tale, grappling with the fundamental questions of our time? All of the above, and more. But mostly it's a story. A story that has to be told, regardless of the consequences. An intriguing second novel from the twisted imagination of author Chris McPherson, Bone Island tells the story of a book -- a book called `Bone Island' (the book within this book). When reclusive novelist Homer Knee turns up dead on the shores of his Bone Island home, the manuscript of his last novel turns up… gone. Accusations fly and suspicions abound. But when Homer's son Larry discovers the manuscript, he uncovers a secret as well — and embarks on a journey which will test his loyalties and threaten the very fabric of his life. Along the way Larry will encounter some unusual characters: a beautiful but dangerous lawyer, a paranoid cross-dressing private eye, a cynical tattoo artist and a saintly illiterate bee-keeper — who just may be his long-lost half brother, if he exists at all… The mystery though revolves around Homer, who in death assumes the significance of both Homer Simpson and Homer the blind poet of antiquity.

Island of Bones

ASIN: 0739440020 |
Product Description
Set in the late 1980s, the newest addition to Parrish's Louis Kincaid mystery series (Thicker Than Water) lures readers in from the outset when a young woman's bullet-ridden corpse is found tangled in mangrove roots on Florida's beautiful, tropical seacoast. Kincaid, a former cop turned private investigator, is hired by a woman who fears that her father, Frank Woods, a middle-aged, nondescript librarian with murky connections to several missing women dating back as far as 35 years, may be the killer. Although all signs point to Woods's guilt, his confession and apparent suicide never sit well with Kincaid. He reluctantly teams up with Mel Landeta, a gruff but ultimately likable local police officer who's losing his eyesight, and they return to the last place Woods visited-the Island of Bones. The tension builds to a near palpable level as the pair uncover secrets that are as dark and warped as the primal landscape Parrish vividly describes. World-weary, contemplative Landeta is the perfect foil for Kincaid, a true man of action. Their camaraderie and unspoken understanding, combined with Parrish's crisp dialogue and skill at stringing out the suspense, are what make this carefully constructed mystery so absorbing.
Book Description
It's 1978, and Dale Singleton is becoming alarmed as his friend, Ian Kaysen, is afflicted with a mysterious and seemingly untreatable illness characterized by pneumonia, lesions, and dementia. This novel of the first days of AIDS is viscerally affecting, as it conveys the shocked puzzlement of those troubled by Ian's condition while simultaneously documenting Jamaican society's struggle to accept the dignity of gay love. Dale's world collapses, yet his experience of being gay in a middle-class culture circumscribed by church, family, and compulsory heterosexuality is hauntingly memorable-and familiar.

Small Gathering offers most genuine view of Jamaica Gay life.......1998-09-18
"A Small Gathering of Bones" offers one of the most genuine renderings of Gay life in the Caribbean in print. It shows with refreshing accuracy the spaces Gay men have created within Jamaican society as well as their challenges. Powell's writing creates surprising and intimate textures of male life. "Small Gathering" gives the lie to many stereotypes of Gay life in Jamaica and the Caribbean.

And day now the big man with the cigar might be arriving on the ferryboat--the man that Pete's father is terrified to see.
So three times a day, when the ferry is due at the island, Pete jumps on his bike and races to see if the big man will get off the boat. In Pete's pocket is a quarter, so he can rush to the telephone and warn his father.
It is not until almost the end of summer that Pete finds out why his father is so afraid. But in the meantime he has met eleven-year-old Rootie, an old-timer on Cutlass Island, who shows him the island newcomers never see--and who helps him face the danger when it finally arrives.

The Bones in The Cliff
This is one of my favorite books. It was one of James Stevenson's books. I think he is a pretty good writer. I like how he worded the whole book. He really makes things interesting. There really wasn't anything I didn't like about his book. It isn't a very long book either, that's something I like. I like the types of book that are interesting but not a very lengthy book. Most of the books I've read have been real long and don't get interesting. That's why I like books from Stevenson. I would recommend this book to anyone over any other book in the library.
It's a 10 star book.......1998-12-08
This book was great. It was the best and it was a very great thriller. If a hitman was after me dad I don't think I would be as brave as Pete!

Inadequate.......2005-05-27
I love Elfquest, and have been a long-time fan of Wendy Pini's moving stories and delicate, sensitive artwork. That said, these "pocket-sized" versions of Elfquest are a travesty. In the early ones the art is so small you can barely tell what's going on, and in the later books, such as this one, it appears that they have attempted to reorganize the art -- splitting what was originally one page into 2. This has resulted in the art being big enough to see, but the layouts of the pages appearing haphazard. Also, because these books are often grayscaled reproductions of what was originally color art, the art looks muddy. Even later editions have that problem.
I'd recommend that both long-time fans and newbies avoid these editions like the plague, and do the best you can to get ahold of the original issues, or at least the older, full-sized graphic novels that Warp produced in the 90's.
