It is darker than the mystery I use to read but I was fascinated by this book. It kept me guessing til the end and I was fascinated by dowsing part.

I was drawn to read this book because I have an interest in Dowsing Rods. I explore cemeteries in conjunction with my family research and have on occasion used them myself. They are just amazing what they will tell. Julie's history of abuse and her meeting of her FBI agent boyfriend Garrett were explained in the Bodies of Evidence, #1. I had no trouble following this without reading the first although I may pick it up because Roberts has a skill for characters and story telling. Divine Reunions is Julie's business name for her body locating ability. She has to use other detective clues to do her job which helps add depth to the story. Would have liked a bit more romance between Julie and Garrett. "A copy of this book was provided by Carina Press via Netgalley with no requirements for a review.

I didn't like this as much as I liked the Ghost Dusters books. It is darker. That said, it was nice to have a mystery where the protagonist is dealing with issues of her own, as well what's going on with the mystery. It gave the story a little extra complexity.

Julie Hall can find dead bodies with dowsing rods. Now she has her own business helping people find their loved ones. And she can't just stop at finding the bodies, she needs to solve the crime. This unique premise grabbed me from the start. The second installment of the Bodies of Evidence series was just as good, even better than the first! Perfect series for mystery/thriller fans. The right amount of mystery, suspense, and romance!

I really enjoyed this one! Although Julie remains the protagonist and key aspects of the character remain the same, on the whole I thought this book was a lot less dark than the previous one. A bit part of that rested on the shoulders of the people she surrounds herself with. Garret remains loyal, loving and protective and in Tracey she has the beginnings of a positive friendship. Whether due to therapy or a new perspective she finally seems to have a sense of her own self worth. The mysteries surrounding the bodies she finds were excellent as well. All in all this was a well written and thoroughly engaging read. Recommended!

This second installment in the series isnt as dark and suspenseful as the first book but it was just as enjoyable to read.

Julie Hall is now running her own business – Divine Reunions – where she helps to find deceased loved ones with her dowsing rods. She's bought a house away from her previous life and lives with her dog Wookie.. She is still dating FBI Agent Garrett Piece but he still lives and works in Seattle an hour away. So they dont get to see each other everyday but he is very much in her life. I really like Julie and Garrett's relationship – he is 20 years older than her but there is nothing icky about it.. The both suffer from heartbreaking past and they fill the broken in the other.

This book didn't pick up exactly where the first one left off but it felt like a continuation of where that book ended. Julie is still struggling to stay sober, still trying to keep her grandfathers voice out of her head and is continue to heal mentally from the years of abuse from her grandma. She is trying to live as stress free of a life as she can while helping to find the missing bodies of those who ask for her help.

She really wants nothing to do with a woman who just shows up her house asking for help in finding her daughters body. But when Julie realizes that the daughter had been dating a guy she had a crush on in high school her curiosity is piqued and her investigation uncovers a lot of things dealing with Julie's past.

I got the impression by the end of the book that this may be the last of the series. If so I am happy where it ended but would love to have more stories of Julie and her dowsing rods and her hunky FBI agent.

I loved this book! I'm fascinated with how dowsing rods work and how they are used in this series to find dead people. Julie Hall is respectful of the deceased whether the remains she finds are very old, more recent or belonging to a murderer. I admire how she helps others even though she's struggling with dealing with her own hardships. This author has been recommended to me a few times and I'm so glad I finally picked up one of her books. I'm excited about reading more from her.

Overall a good book, and one that kept my interest throughout. I figured out the murderer about half way through, but still wanted to read through to find out why and what happened. Was not disappointed. I liked the idea of water-witching, as my family does that too, and I have a cousin who does it to find unmarked graves. I can just find water, but it is still fun. The only thing that got a little tiresome was the voices in her head, and the therapist voice too. This is the first book I've read, so if there were previous ones it might explain this. Otherwise, I highly recommend this book, as the mystery is well written.
