Cold to Her Bones

A Psychological Thriller

De: Cate Anderson

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

He’s already murdered eight women. Now, he’s coming for me.

We find her on a grey November day on Dartmoor, England.

I’m excavating a Bronze-Age cairn, expecting to find a burial urn and maybe some bronze tools if I’m really lucky. And then I see her fingers poking through the soil as if she’s trying to claw her way out of her grave. I’m an osteoarchaeologist, used to dealing with bones, and I know immediately she’s been in the ground for months rather than thousands of years.

Then I find a message in the grave that’s clearly meant for me.

It turns out the girl is the eighth victim of a serial killer, and now I’m convinced that the murderer knows me. It’s making me look at everyone in a different light – colleagues, family, and friends. My life is disintegrating around me, and I want to run. But if I do, I know I’ll never stop. It’s time to make a stand.

Loved the story - didn’t love the virtual voice narration

I actually really loved this book, once I forced myself to see (or hear) past the virtual voice narration. All things considered I think the British voice really helped me to see past the narration, but it would have been so much better with a voice actor.

So many mysteries with a female protagonist end up with the climax being an abduction, and then the female somehow getting away, and I was really grateful that this book took a totally different approach.

I also appreciate the use of LGBT characters and some brief insight into some of the rejection that they sometimes experience (life lessons on how NOT to treat people!). :)
Overall awesome.

loved the characters

this is my first book by the author and she did a great job with the story. I'm definitely not through with her!!!!!

kept me guessing.

I liked the plot, but there was a lot of slow paced areas that could have been clipped. a lot of looking at the past and compartmentalizing by telling us not showing us.id have like more narrative of the after and bring shown not told how it affected everyone. and more about right before her finding the bone.

the time jump was sloppy in my opinion.

I want more of the character Rosie, before her past comes to light, she lived years before capturing her torturer, built walls and was amazing.

I want to know more about Rosie as the Skelton Key.
