Thriller Psychological
A stunning, wonderfully assured psychological thriller that evokes Gillian Flynn and Alice Sebold, The Bones of You revolves around a young girlโs murder and one womanโs obsession with uncovering the secrets in an idyllic English village. I have a gardenerโs 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 donโt die before their parents. When Kate receives a phone call with news that Rosie Anderson is missing, sheโs stunned and disturbed. Rosie is eighteen, the same age as Kateโs daughter, and a beautiful, quiet, and kind young woman. Though the locals are optimisticโgirls like Rosie donโt get into real troubleโKateโs 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 Andersonsโgraceful mother Jo, renowned journalist father Neal, watchful younger sister Delphineโthe more she is convinced that not everything is as it seems. Anonymous notes arrive, urging Kate to unravel the tangled threads of Rosieโs life and death, though she has no idea where they will lead. Weaving flashbacks from Rosieโs perspective into a tautly plotted narrative, The Bones of You is a gripping, haunting novel of sacrifices and lies, desperation and love.
