Summary
'The Bone Keeper will corrupt your days and shatter your nights' Val McDermid
‘A dark and brilliant thriller from a writer who just gets better and better. The Bone Keeper is tense, chilling and HUGELY scary’ Mark Billingham
‘Luca Veste proves you don’t need to go to the Bayou or the Everglades to find something terrifying in the deep, dark woods. Sometimes evil is lurking just around the corner. An entertainingly nasty piece of work' Christopher Brookmyre
What if the figure that haunted your nightmares as child, the myth of the man in the woods, was real?
He'll slice your flesh.
Your bones he'll keep.
Twenty years ago, four teenagers went exploring in the local woods, trying to find to the supposed home of The Bone Keeper. Only three returned.
Now, a woman is found wandering the streets of Liverpool, horrifically injured, claiming to have fled the Bone Keeper. Investigating officer DC Louise Henderson must convince sceptical colleagues that this urban myth might be flesh and blood. But when a body is unearthed in the woodland the woman has fled from, the case takes on a much darker tone.
The disappeared have been found. And their killer is watching every move the police make.

The Bone Keeper
I enjoyed this thriller. There are twists and turns as we discover the story of The Bone Killer and the characters who surround it. The narrator did well giving each character a voice with a Liverpudlian accent. There were times of sadness, fear and relief within the book. The ending felt a little rushed or short but overall I felt this was a good story.

So disappointed
Started off quite well but became so improbable as to make the story nonsensical. Jonathan Keebles narration was, as always excellent, but even so it was a struggle to get to the end

Great start, ending a little lacking
Story - 3.75 Stars
I loved that this book was set around an urban legend and the first 75% had me completely hooked. I did however feel that the last 25% felt like it lost a bit steam but it was ultimately a satisfactory ending. The narration was great though. I'd be curious to find out if this was the start of a series or not as I would read/listen to more with the main characters from this.

Fantastically dark
Just my kinda book, a modern folk tale that twists between paranormal horror and detective serial killer. Liverpudlian X-Files!

Stunning Narration
I wish there were more Luca Veste books on Audible as they are different, unsettling and worth a listen. However, the narrator was outstanding. He can always be relied upon to bring books to life but here he excels himself.
