Book description

A twisty and propulsive read, this dark psychological thriller of sibling rivalry, love, betrayal, and the dire consequences of family fallout brilliantly plays on our fears of loneliness and abandonment, harkening to the modern gothic bestsellers by Ruth Ware and Liz Nugent.

Why read it?

1 author picked Bone Deep as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

What I love about this book is that it is beautifully told by two different women in alternating narratives, mixing a local legend with a more modern tale.

I really like the way the author presents two distinct voices and yet retains the richness of her language in each. The setting of the watermill, too, is superb, and the author’s ability to describe each scene perfectly adds to the tension as each aspect of the story snowballs its way to a thrilling conclusion.
