Walker's Zero At The Bone is a satisfying mystery that is worth reading. However, Zero At The Bone is nowhere near as good as Walker's The Red Scream and Under The Beetle's Cellar--both of which are VERY good,particularly the latter.

I really enjoyed Zero at the Bone. You never knew where the plot turns were going to take you. It is rare to find a mystery novel that leaves you guessing until the end. I found it a great read along with Mary Willis Walker's other books. I just wish she would write another one soon.

Walker does an excellent job with this book.

As you eneter Katherine's world it's crumbling away and then she gets notice that her father who she hasn't seen or heard from in year dies. She goes off to see him off and go through his extate. When she comes across something that doesn't seem right and this embarks her on a journey that will change her life.

Walker paints a powerful picture with her words. In one scene they come across a lion traped in a cage. You can actually see the lion and feel the cage and his imperfections with your hands. It will send chills up your spine.

This is her best book and the only one that stands on it's own. Her other books deal with continuing characters and are great, too.

Read. Enjoy. Then take a trip to a large zoo and enjoy the animals.

If you liked Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal with all there power you'll enjoy Mary Willis Walkers' work.

Katherine Driscoll takes a job at the zoo where her estranged father worked and was murdered. Almost everyone she meets could be the murderer. When her life is threatened her investigation takes on an urgency. Plenty of action, a little romance and a humdinger of an ending. Mary Willis Walker just gets better and better

I thought this book was great. I found out about it from another author. She said it was good & it was.

Hard to put down. You want to keep going so that you can find out who the killer is.

very well written.

A fine read of a book about a woman living in the hill country of Texas who is forced into a situation where she has to rattle a few skeletons in the old family closet. As a Texan, I especially enjoyed recognizing all the hill country locales. The story is quite skillfully constructed and thoroughly grips the reader from start to finish. The main character is well conceived and is someone you come to like. I strongly recommend.

I enjoyed this book very much - the plot was good the characters were excellent and it was a fast read. I have also read her other three books: "Red Sream", "Under the Beetle's Celler" amd "All the Dead Lie Down".

What I want to know is.....has she written any more???

I really enjoyed this book. You never knew where the plot turns were going to take you. It is rare to find a mystery novel that leaves you guessing until the end. I found it a great read along with the authors other books.

This was a most dissapointing book. Ms. Willis Walker has managed to do the impposible, which was to take an interesting heroine like Katherine Driscoll, surround her with promising, yet underutilized characters, and a lousy story that is no better that a Susan Lucci TV Movie of the Week on the Lifetime Channel. Pick up this snoozer at the library!

I bought this used, thinking it was first in a series by this author. Even though it wasn't part of a series, and since I haven't read anything by this author before, I loaned it to a friend. She said it was okay. I read it and enjoyed it, it was hard to put down. I have loaned it to another friend, to see if she likes it.
