Kathryn Lasky has written an exciting new adult amateur sleuth mystery set in New Mexico in the 1930s.

The sleuth is Georgia O'Keefe, who actually did suffer a nervous breakdown in 1933 when her husband Alfred Stieglitz had a somewhat public affair, was hospitalized for psychiatric treatment, and then traveled to the Ghost Ranch in New Mexico to paint. O'Keefe was approaching the peak of her fame and success, having just sold a painting for a record price. The narrative begins when she discovers the slain body of a priest in the desert. The plot includes several other murders, Georgia's burgeoning romance with the local sheriff, an international espionage plot involving Charles Lindbergh (who is staying at the ranch with his wife Anne), and lots of intricate twists and turns leading to a thoroughly unforeseen denouement.

The strength of this story is how Lasky's elegant writing captures the emotional depth of this artist's turmoil and so stunningly reveals O'Keeffe's perception of the landscape that moves her to paint. It is not simply a whodunnit mystery, but much more: It is a narrative of healing and resurrection of spirit.

Loved it

I loved the setting, and the time period. Using real people gave an accurate accounting of real life events happening in the world. Georgia O'Keefe and the Sheriff solved all the murders and mysteries at and around Ghost Ranch New Mexico in that summer of 1934.

I realize it is a novel but somehow I never had the feeling of the 1930's. The conversations and the terms used and some of the situations had a much more modern feel to me. While I like the history and love Geogia O'Keefe I could not give the book top grades because I wasn't "there". when I read a book it's total immersion for me and I am taking part in the life of the story. In this book I felt like a total outsider unable to feel and think like the characters in the book.

LIGHT ON BONE is the most "WOW" book I have read/listened to in many years. And the narrator made it even better.

I haven’t been engrossed in a book like this for a long time that’s just wonderful. The only thing is, I didn’t think the narrator quite had the voice. I would expect of Georgia O’Keefe.

Excellent -it took me there

Besides being anti-Catholic and putting G-d d in Georgia O’Keeffe’s mouth, and making every interesting person in the book dull, the narration was uninspired.

This book could have been a lot of fun but it was written more with the author’s own prejudices in mind.
