Colorado author Emily Littlejohn follows up her successful “Inherit the Bones” mystery with a nicely written sequel about Cedar Valley detective Gemma Monroe. Newly returned from maternity leave, Gemma finds the stabbed body of famous author Delaware Fuente at a local prep school, with an ominous note stuffed into his mouth: “This is only the beginning.” Fuente, who was lecturing at the school under a pseudonym, was in Colorado at the invitation of a childhood friend, to write his memoirs. Gemma and her partner, Finn, fear a serial killer, especially after another instructor is killed.
