Blurb from the book:

Detective Kate Farrer returns to duty after three months of leave following her traumatic abduction. Fearing that she has lost her edge, she reluctantly partners homicide newcomer Oliver Parke, and they are thrown into the investigation of a woman burnt beyond recognition in a house-fire.

Book Review: 

SKIN AND BONE has all the elements of a good crime novel.  Well-developed characters: a suitably absorbing plot with intertwining threads and enough clues to allow the reader to solve the mystery.
 
Kathryn Fox’s first two novels (Malicious Intent and Without Consent) featured Dr. Anya Crichton.  Farrer was the investigating detective in Malicious Intent. In featuring Farrer as the protagonist in SKIN AND BONE, author has given herself scope to create two separate series. This also firmly establishes Fox in Australia’s growing pool of talented crime writers.
 
If you enjoyed Fox’s first two books, then you won’t be disappointed in SKIN AND BONE.  I read Without Consent early in 2007 and thoroughly enjoyed it.  If anything, I think SKIN AND BONE is even better.  If you are new to Fox’s work, then SKIN AND BONE won’t suffer from the reader not being familiar with her earlier books.

I've added details on Kathryn Fox's third novel, Skin and Bone, which has just been published.  This book is not part of the Anya Chrichton series, but features Kate Farrer, the detective from Malicious Intent.

Fox, on her website has said that Anya will be back in the next book, but that she also has lots of plot ideas for other lead characters, some of whom appeared in Malicious Intent.
