Devlin and Katie are spending two weeks on a ranch in Montana digging for fossils. They are volunteering with a group of college students hoping to find something exciting. The day before they leave, much to Katie’s surprise, she unearths what may possibly be bones from a foot, and with the other bones found, everyone is pretty excited. The next morning, the group notices suspicious tire tracks around the site, but no one can explain how or why. Is someone trying to ruin all their hard work and steal the fossils for themselves?
What I liked about this book - digging for fossils and finding dinosaurs. I also liked the parts in the Museum of Natural History, but it was mostly just an average mystery. The main character was smart, involves her mom in her life and loves to solve mysteries, but she wasn’t a favorite, I liked her friends better. That being said, I think your mystery lovers will like it. While this isn’t the first in the author’s mystery series, you won’t miss out on anything by starting here.
