Dem Bones

At the annual marrow contest, a skeleton is dug up and at first thought to be of archaeological interest, but Sister Boniface reveals that the victim has been recently murdered.

A skeleton found buried in Edie Paignton's allotment is difficult for Sister Boniface to identify as male or female. Paignton's husband has disappeared, as has Frank Harsden's pregnant daughter Jenny. More tests by Sister Boniface reveal the victim had been murdered with a cultivator and buried in a caustic soda mixture.
