Synopsis
&“An intriguing dark psychological thriller—truly brilliant&” from the international bestselling author of The Stepdaughter (Lisa Jackson, #1 New York Times–bestselling author). When Kate receives a phone call with news that Rosie Anderson is missing, she&’s stunned and disturbed. Rosie is eighteen, the same age as Kate&’s daughter, and a beautiful, quiet, and kind young woman. Though the locals are optimistic—girls like Rosie don&’t get into real trouble—Kate&’s sense of foreboding is confirmed when Rosie is found fatally beaten and stabbed. Who would kill the perfect daughter, from the perfect family? Yet the more Kate entwines herself with the Andersons—graceful mother Jo, renowned journalist father Neal, watchful younger sister Delphine—the more she is convinced that not everything is as it seems. Anonymous notes arrive, urging Kate to unravel the tangled threads of Rosie&’s life and death, though she has no idea where they will lead. Weaving flashbacks from Rosie&’s perspective into a tautly plotted narrative, The Bones of You is a gripping, haunting novel of sacrifices and lies, desperation and love. &“Suspenseful and poignant debut . . . the increasingly tense storytelling and astute observations on mother-daughter relationships will keep readers turning the pages.&” —Publishers Weekly &“Has been compared to Alice Sebold&’s The Lovely Bones . . .
