The Bones of You
by Debbie Howells
I received THE BONES OF YOU as an ARC through NetGalley.com.
I seem to have run into a small pile of books that remind me of GONE GIRL mixed with something else--in this case, the "something else" is Alice Sebold's books. Perhaps specifically THE LOVELY BONES, but...really, all of them, a little bit.
As a student of psychology and a lover of mystery/thrillers, THE BONES OF YOU was right up my alley. Why only three stars, then? To be perfectly honest, that's entirely on me, not the author. I'm just finding, as I get older, dead children and teenagers in fiction geared toward adults are not my thing. I see enough of that kind of thing on the news, you know?
Pushing through my own issues, THE BONES OF YOU delivers a creepy tale of the dark side of human nature, the twisted ways we sometimes relate to each other, and the lengths some people go to hide their problems. It's most definitely a page-turner.
