Annabel doesn’t
have much of a life. She is a police analyst, she lives alone but for her cat,
she has no friends and she takes care of her aging mother. When she discovers
her neighbors decomposing body in the house next door and realizes that nobody
even missed her she begins an investigation to determine how many people
actually die alone and forgotten. She is appalled at the inordinate amount she
discovers in her town. Using her skills as an analyst she discovers a pattern
and realizes that something is not quite right.
Human Remains
alternates between Annabel’s narration and the actual killer’s although I’m not
quite sure you can call him a killer since the victim’s all commit suicide. But
he does play a part.
This is another case of choosing a book based on an
author’s previous work and while it had an unusual and original premise it didn’t
quite measure up to her earlier work. Too many bodies probably.
