About this listen
'We have a dead second wife and a missing first wife...we’ve got a huge problem here.’ (Detective Peter Seymour)
Seven Bones is the story of one of the more bizarre murder investigations in Australia’s history. Two wives die in suspicious circumstances: co-incidence or, as husband Thomas Keir describes it, ‘bad luck’?
Three years after Thomas Keir alleged his first wife, Jean, deserted him and her young son for another man, his second wife, Rosalina, Jean’s cousin, lay scorched and strangled on her bed. Arriving on the scene, Detective Peter Seymour realised he was either dealing with the world’s unluckiest husband or a serial wife killer.
While Keir was remarkably found ‘not guilty’ of Rosalina’s murder, despite a clear-cut case, her death unlocked the mystery of Jean’s disappearance. A subsequent police investigation lead to the discovery of seven small fragments of Jean’s bones - fingers, knuckles and toes - buried deep under the same house in which Rosalina died.
Keir’s ‘grieving husband’ act was suddenly in question. The investigation revealed Thomas Kier was a man so jealous he hated even his own baby son touching his wife, Jean. A man so possessive he threatened he would cut her up and feed her to the dogs if she ever left him. A man who thought he could commit the perfect crime and publicly taunted the police through the media.
Written through the eyes of Detective Peter Seymour, Seven Bones follows his relentless pursuit of justice and his own family sacrifices, through the drama of the police investigation into Jean’s death and the three trials, convictions and appeals that would take 15 years to reach their final conclusion.

Raw and good insight
This book was written and read in a typical knock about Aussie way. I enjoyed it very much.
My heart goes out to the family of these poor women.

Fascinating story!
Very captivating ! I enjoyed the narrators voice and the storyline from the point of view of an investigator and not a journalist is different, interesting and relatable at a different level.

A story of how crap police effort allows for a second victim.
I couldn’t help but feel angry that Rosalie died unnecessarily. So sad. There shouldn’t have been a second victim of this man. Pete is giving himself a giant pat on the back with no insight or regret into his crap investigation of Jeans disappearance in the first place. Which should have been the whole point. Without Rosalie’s death, Jeans demise would never have been looked at carefully. Unfortunately back then the lazy and ignorant police would just accept a husbands story of a wife’s disappearance. Despite families concerns and the fact she had no financial means and left behind a much loved son.
