The Janus Stone by Elly Griffiths

dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.0

A demolition project unearths the incomplete skeleton of a child concealed beneath a doorway, which in turn leads to further gruesome finds. A macabre novel with a number of twists and turns and chilling reveal.  Masterfully writen with just enough breadcrumbs.
