The Bones of You
by Debbie Howells
Its amazing what secrets the "perfect" family can hide. Rosie's family looks perfect from the outside but after her death their secrets start to be peeled away like layers of an onion. Reminiscent of The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, Rosie tells her story from beyond the grave, while Kate unravels it on the living side.
Flipping from Rosie's perspective, to Delphine, Kate and Jo, this book unravels. It doesn't feel like you are being told a story so much as feeling that as things start to fall apart you start to see the cracks and imperfections that make you want to pick at them along with the characters to allow you to see the truth.
Very well written with parts that make you smell the fresh air, and odor of horses and sunshine. There were also parts I felt were lacking or missing, and some legal maneuvering that is common sense that didn't seem to happen. However, I would still recommend this book especially if you like to delve into the more psychological aspects of why a murder takes place. This was a disturbing psychological thriller that didn't move at a breakneck pace but rather a slow uncovering of the all the more disturbing facts.
