What I love about the Cover
I love the sheer atmosphere in this cover. I first saw this on my Kindle App in my recommendations – I haven’t read this yet, but the cover so caught my eye that I had to learn more. The muted tones against the orange title – I love that contrast. This cover evokes a stark loneliness and a tension that something is very, very wrong.
And I love this quote about the book:
“From the first page of The Dark Bones I knew I was in the hands of a master storyteller. It starts with one of the most intense, knock your socks off openings I’ve ever read and just snowballs from there. The combination of gorgeous writing and endless twists and turns literally kept me up all night reading so I could get to the extremely satisfying conclusion.” —Ellison Cooper, author of Caged
About the Book
She’s come back to solve the mystery of her father’s death and confront her own dark past.
When Detective Rebecca North left her rural hometown, she vowed never to return. Her father’s apparent suicide has changed that. The official report is that retired cop Noah North shot himself, knocked over a lantern, and set his isolated cabin ablaze. But Rebecca cannot believe he killed himself.
To prove it, she needs the help of Ash Haugen, the man she left behind. But Rebecca and Ash share more than broken hearts. Something darker lies between them, and the investigation is stirring it back to life. Clues lead them to the home of Olivia West and her deeply troubled twelve-year-old daughter, Tori. The child knows more about the murder than anyone can imagine, but she’s too terrified to say a word.
And as a cold-blooded killer resurfaces from the past, Rebecca and Ash begin to fear that their own secrets may be even harder to survive.
