The only nomination so far that is available from my library is All the Missing Girls which sounds interesting so I will second it and have put it on my Holds list just in case because there are 4 people in front of me.

I nominate Carved in Bone by Jefferson Bass, the first "Body Farm" novel based on Dr. Bill Bass's real-life forensics research.

Available for some at Overdrive and only $5 or £4.

Print length: 416 pages
Goodreads | Overdrive / Amazon US / Amazon UK / Kobo

Quote:
There is a patch of ground in Tennessee dedicated to the science of death, where human remains lie exposed to be studied for their secrets. The real-life scientist who founded the "Body Farm" has broken cold cases and revolutionized forensics . . . and now he spins an astonishing tale inspired by his own experiences.

Renowned anthropologist Dr. Bill Brockton has spent his career surrounded by death at the Body Farm. Now he's being called upon to help solve a baffling puzzle in a remote mountain community. The mummified corpse of a young woman dead for thirty years has been discovered in a cave, the body bizarrely preserved and transformed by the environment's unique chemistry. But Brockton's investigation is threatening to open old wounds among an insular people who won't forget or forgive. And a long-buried secret prematurely exposed could inflame Brockton's own guilt—and the dangerous hostility of bitter enemies determined to see him fail . . . by any means necessary.

With Fascinating Insider Information on the Body Farm!
There is also a non-fiction companion book, Beyond the Body Farm, if anyone is interested in just the forensics.
