The Silence of Bones by June Hur

adventurous challenging mysterious medium-paced

3.75

This is a great story. We will be taken back to Korea's Jeseon dynasty through the eyes of a damo (servant, women police officers) named Seol.
 
The story revolved around Seol's curiousity solving the murders of a noble woman, whom associated with Chatholic. Back then in Joseon Dynasty, Chatholic was not largely accepted.

NO QUESTIONS NEEDED FOR THE SETTING DESCRIBED; THE ATMOSPHERE, THE CHARACTER'S DYNAMIC AND THEIR TRAIN OF THOUGHT, THE MOTIVES, ARE ALL PERFECT.

It is action packed in term of we follow each steps of investigation. Hvw, sometimes, the investigations were too roundy. Circling back and forth with no enlightement. It served satisfactory resolution at the end, tho.

I love Seol's character development. The curiousity sparks her fath to become a braver police officer who mattered among the men. The downside, is, for me, her inconsistence at time was a bit frustrating. To reveal or conceal... however, growing up a servant, it was understandable. This book served it well. 

A bit slow paced but still enjoyable. Page turning. Siblings trope. Lots of betrayals and blood!!! 

I have a good time reading this, but
NO ONE TOLD ME IT COULD WRECK YOUR HEART.
