The Blessed Bones by Kathryn Casey
5.0

I usually don’t cry when I read a thriller. I can be on the edge, thriller, adrenaline and blah blah but heart breaking is not a term I think can be applied to a thriller but this is an exception.
This is one the most emotionally charged, heartbreaking and gripping story I read in a long time.
A story about power, abuse, greed and coming to term with the past trying to rebuild bridges.
An excellent thriller where long buried secrets come to light and stories from the past and the present mix.
Clara is a great characters and I love her character arc and she rebuilding bridges with her family. She’s and will be an outcast in the closed community but she’s able to face the ostracism and the hostility.
Max and Doc are other two characters I love as they are able to relate to woman even if they are at the same level.
The mystery is complex and there’s various subplot, it will take time and patience to find the culprit and give justice to the victims.
I can’t wait to read the next story as it promises to be as interesting as this one.
A gripping story that I strongly recommend
Many thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
