A delight to read. The Bone Jar is a fresh addition to the police procedural genre, featuring an eccentric and varied cast of characters. It will leave you wondering until the very last pages.

Maybe it was the mood I was in but I was not a fan.

"Two murders. An abandoned asylum. Will a mysterious former patient help untangle the dark truth?"

The description of this book had me hooked and it didn't disappoint! The Bone Jar is an amazing book and I will be looking out for others in the series.
Blackwater asylum, a former mental health asylum is the perfect location for this eerie Crime Thriller.The story is told from the point of view of Detective Kirby and Connie Darke. I found both of these characters very likeable and interesting, they both had links to the Asylum in very different.

I thought the pacing of this book was perfect, it kept you in complete suspence right up until the big reveal towards the end. There are so many twists and turns throughout this book. You will need to pay close attention to the characters as they snake and intertwine together. However this could be confusing sometimes and could be hard to remember how they were all connected.

I could not put this book down and was so eager to find out who had killed the two murder victims. It is definitely worth the read if you enjoy mystery, suspence and thriller.


I received a free copy of this book from #Netgalley in exchange for this review

A body of an old woman is found battered in a ward of a disused asylum amid a freezing cold winter. DI Lew Kirby is out in charge of the case and the woman is found to be a former nurse of the asylum. Why was she murdered and who would want to kill her?

This was a real creepy read. Anything to do with disused buildings, especially hospitals give me the willies!

There were quite a few characters to keep track of, but I liked the fact they were all interwoven into the plot. There were some characters who only made brief appearances who didn’t add much to the story.

A good ending, but I kind of guessed the twist. I’d like to see more from this author as it takes a lot to creep me out!

This book didn't work for me. The characters I didn't care for. Just dragged on and didn't grab my attention. Even at the end I was just like huh.

I've decided it isn't worth the time to receive and read a "free" Amazon Prime ebook every month. They are just so rarely worth reading. Maybe I'm just not very good at choosing which ones to receive, but I've struck out every single time, so no more.
This first mystery novel was obviously a first novel. The author was trying a little too hard to layer in aspects of her key detective that would be used as recurring elements in future episodes, if sales indicated more should follow. The elements were slabbered on a bit thickly, culminating in an inherited disease for the protagonist. Let's not explore the houseboat in London or the quirky mom. Nope.

A twisty mystery read that takes place in an abandoned asylum in England. This was an engaging read and there were quite a few twists that I didn't see coming. The mystery also expands over a long period of time, so the detectives in the case were not only solving the current case but the ties that it had to an older mystery. I enjoyed the book and look forward to exploring more by this author. Free e-copy was received from NetGalley.
