Little Tiny Teeth by Aaron Elkins


Aaron Elkins' Gideon Oliver forensic mysteries employ an old device - the closed room mystery - with fresh settings and interesting characters. Oliver is known as "The Bone Detective," a man who can discern a world of information from old bones. He travels extensively, and usually manages to stumble upon a murder in some exotic location.

In "Tiny Little Teeth" the location is a boat in the Amazon jungle. With a limited number of suspects and no way to add or subtract from them, Oliver is faced with a perplexing series of events, including disappearances, reappearances, and pirhana-chewed bodies. If you enjoy classic mysteries combined with unique locales, you will enjoy this and the other of the Gideon Oliver series.
