Thriller
A stunning, wonderfully assured psychological thriller that
evokes Gillian Flynn and Alice Sebold, The Bones of
You revolves around a young girl’s murder and one
woman’s obsession with uncovering the secrets in an idyllic
English village. I have a gardener’s inherent
belief in the natural order of things. Soft‑petalled
flowers that go to seed. The resolute passage of the
seasons. Swallows that fly thousands of miles to
follow the eternal summer. Children who don’t
die before their parents. When Kate receives a
phone call with news that Rosie Anderson is missing, she’s
stunned and disturbed. Rosie is eighteen, the same age as
Kate’s daughter, and a beautiful, quiet, and kind young
woman. Though the locals are optimistic—girls like Rosie
don’t get into real trouble—Kate’s sense of foreboding is
confirmed when Rosie is found fatally beaten and
stabbed. Who would kill the perfect daughter, from the
perfect family? Yet the more Kate entwines herself with the
Andersons—graceful mother Jo, renowned journalist father
Neal, watchful younger sister Delphine—the more she is
convinced that not everything is as it seems. Anonymous
notes arrive, urging Kate to unravel the tangled threads of
Rosie’s life and death, though she has no idea where they
will lead. Weaving flashbacks from Rosie’s perspective
into a tautly plotted narrative, The Bones of You
is a gripping, haunting novel of sacrifices and lies,
desperation and love.
