And why does no one – not even her sister – believe her?

Wow. This is a slow burner that creeps slowly up your spine, grips you round the throat and doesn’t let you go! I don’t feel I can say too much without giving away spoilers but it is completely compelling with a shocking ending.
It’s a very powerful book, with a strong voice. I’m not normally a fan of the present tense or even the first person perspective but both work really well with this narrative. It’s not action-packed or gore-filled, but it is absolutely riveting. I read it in just over a day and couldn’t put it down.
With huge thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Books (UK) for the ARC of My Sister’s Bones.
