The Unquiet Bones
by Loreth Anne White
When human bones are found beneath an old chapel in the woods, evidence suggests the remains could be linked to the decades-old case of missing teen Annalise Jansen. Homicide detective Jane Munro—pregnant and acutely attuned to the preciousness of life—hopes the grim discovery will finally bring closure to the girl’s family. But for a group of Annalise’s old friends, once dubbed the Shoreview Six by the media, it threatens to expose a terrible pledge made on an autumn night forty-seven years ago.
The friends are now highly respected, affluent members of their communities, and none of them ever expected the dark chapter in their past to resurface. But as Jane and forensic anthropologist Dr Ella Quinn peel back the layers of secrets, the group begins to fracture. Will one cave? Will they turn on each other? The investigation takes a sharp turn when Jane discovers a second body—that of the boy long blamed for Annalise’s disappearance. As the bones tell their story, the group learns how far each will go to guard their truth.
It is a riveting exploration of suspense, betrayal, and the haunting consequences of long-buried secrets. With a gripping narrative that unfolds around a shocking discovery of human bones, the author masterfully blends elements of cold-case mystery and the intricate dynamics of a group of friends haunted by a dark pledge made almost fifty years ago. Homicide detective Jane Munro takes centre stage, her pregnancy adding a layer of poignancy to the investigation. The narrative promises to delve into the lives of the once close-knit group, now affluent members of their communities, as they grapple with the resurgence of a past they believed buried.
The atmospheric setting, combined with the skilled storytelling of Loreth Anne White, creates a suspenseful and emotionally charged atmosphere. As secrets unravel and friendships fracture, readers are taken on a journey where the boundaries between right and wrong become blurred, and the characters are forced to confront the consequences of choices made in their youth. Including a second body intensifies the mystery, promising unexpected twists and turns to keep readers on the edge of their seats. "The Unquiet Bones" is poised to deliver a compelling narrative, exploring the lengths individuals will go to guard their truths.
