The Bone Keeper by Luca Veste
1.0
A really cool idea with really poor execution! I truly wonder if this book was edited? Countless repeated words, tense changes in the middle of sentences, dialogue that goes on forever and makes no sense and repeats nearly full sentences again and again. For example: “She continued taking pictures, pulling the binders from their small cubbyhole, leading through them and taking pictures”. But imagine this on like every page repeating words two, three, or four times in the same couple of sentences.
Also the storyline was so erratic. Louise, the main character, has 0 personality and a vague connection to the main mystery that isn’t explained until the end even though she’s our narrator. Then the secondary character Caroline also has 0 personality and a vague connection to the main mystery that isn’t explained until the end. Just a bunch of vague connections with no point until the random ending that had no build up or explanation.
I only finished out of spite because I wanted to see what happened at the end and it wasn’t worth it at all. Also the book was described to me as more of a thriller than the bland police procedural that it is and idk who would ever call this book a thriller. I’ve seen other people in reviews say the author’s other books are better but idk. I feel like the editing really let this book down.
