Etched in Bone

This is a fifth book in a series but the author did a good job of not confusing the reader introducing characters from past books. I haven't read any other book in “The Others” series and I felt this could be a stand-alone story. Liked the main character, Luc, and the main female lead, Corinne. The book was a fast, easy read. What bothered me was the romance was a big focus through most of the story and the investigative tale took a back seat a lot of the time. The inquiry and search didn't seem very urgent.
