Kate sensed that Rosie was lonely and offered to let her help out as she had such an affinity with the horses that it was a helpful arrangement for both of them. I don't think I can overemphasize just how hard parts of this book hit me - there were times when I had to stop reading because I felt that it was too close to home, and there were several parts where I teared up, because I recognized too well the feelings that I was reading about.Jo seems fragile.... since the death of her daughter --- she isn't exactly being social, and she is been drinking. Did she kill her? Jo is strange to say the least, Neal is all about Neal and Della is left to struggle on her own and to deal with her sister's death. I have to thank Kensington Books via Net Galley for my advanced copy of this well written, fascinating, unputdownable......read.

This debut psychological thriller is bound to split opinions. One the one hand it dismisses the importance of police procedural within the thriller genre and, on the other, it emphasises the need to identify and understand a character. While there were holes in the plot, (surrounding police presence and social workers involvement, for example) the novel does not suffer as a result. The story begins straight away, with Kate learning of Rosie's disappearance. The local mothers seem upset but untouched by the episode and Kate throws herself at the mercy of the girl's mother, Jo. The story is told from Rosie's perspective too, lending an ethereal feel and drawing the reader into the world of uncertainty. Similar to Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones, there is a wonderful use of liminal space and tiny nuggets of information are drip-fed at a perfect pace. Other characters are solid, like Delphine, the troubled second daughter of Jo and Neal, who is a shady afterthought in her parent's lives. The reader is left to wonder at her safety, and indeed sanity, throughout. The ever-so-perfect Neal is obviously far from perfect from the start, but how much of the information given is true? The only character I wasn't keen on was Laura, a journalist and a former friend of Kate. She is one of the worst investigative journalist I have read in fiction. Basically, this is a story of belief. Just which side of the story is true? Keeping an open mind can be difficult and manipulation is a tool, almost as sharp as a knife...Having personal experience of losing a loved one to vascular dementia, this one felt pretty close to home. It's awful to watch someone slip away like that, and Eccleston does a good job of portraying it.

We see the layers of this dark, psychological suspense unpeeling slowly, and meet others in the village, like Rachael, a friend of Kate’s, and Angus, Kate’s husband. Laura is a journalist friend of Kate’s who appears after Rosie’s body is found and the determination has been made that she was murdered. This is not a fast-paced, edge-of-the-seat crime story but a psychological thriller about the dark side of suburban England where finely pruned rose bushes hide what lies beneath ( Daily Express)

On The Go

Cancellous bone is a vital reservoir for developing red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells. Also, the body destroys defective and old red blood cells in bone marrow. Metabolism Bones are essentially living cells embedded in a mineral-based organic matrix. This extracellular matrix consists of organic components (mostly type 1 collagen) and inorganic components, including hydroxyapatite and other salts, such as calcium and phosphate. It's a smoke screen, a big one and as the smoke is blown away and the author shows us bits of the real life, it's hard to swallow. Not pretty at all.

I know I'm probably projecting, but this book felt deeply personal to me in a way very few have. I don't know what it's like growing up in Britain, or being an actor, but I do know what it's like feeling like you don't fit in as a kid, and how that shapes the rest of your life. I know what it's like to hate your body, often for no good reason. I know what it's like being depressed to the point of suicidal ideation. And I know what it's like trying to untwist the things you know are wrong about your life and your perspective on it. Set, The Field (15 October 2013).

That being said, I feel like I need to see a psychologist after reading this. This story was all over the place and quite frankly eerie. My father was an “ordinary man”, which of course means he was extraordinary. I aim to capture him and his impact on my life and career.’ - Christopher Eccleston A stunning, wonderfully assured psychological thriller that evokes Gillian Flynn and Alice Sebold, The Bones of You revolves around a young girl’s murder and one woman’s obsession with uncovering the secrets in an idyllic English village.
