The Bone Jar by S.W. Kane
3.0
After being recommended this book by family, I had to give it a go myself. I love mysteries and suspenseful thrillers like The Bone Jar and was not disappointed.
This is the first book in the Lew Kirby series and introduces us to his character who is a detective that finds himself involved in a murder that took place at the infamous Blackwater Asylum. The case seems like a normal murder but as the investigation develops, Kirby finds that there is more to the asylum than meets the eye and the local community may know more than they are letting on.
The story was built up really well and the mystery was carried throughout the book. When reading, I had no idea who to trust and who to suspect as the killer and I love the guessing game in books like this as I know that it means that the storyline isn’t predictable if I get to the conclusion and am shocked.
Definitely one I would recommend to those who love the twisty and developed crime novels - that may have more to the story than you initially think.
3/5
