Little Bones takes you into the life of a serial killer’s daughter, exploring the stigma attached to someone related to a monster. The story deals with the horrors of child abduction and the lengths one mother would go to, to save her child. This audiobook provides a theatrical performance guaranteed to keep you entertained.

Little Bones told from Cherrie’s perspective shows you the inner workings of Cherrie’s mind. Some readers might find this book offensive due to the language used. I loved the dark and twisted inner thoughts. Being in Cherrie’s mind had me laughing out loud at times. The author took a very dark subject and managed to infuse humour when you least expected. Maybe it just spoke to my twisted nature, but Cherrie thoughts about her mother-in-law were simply brilliantly written.

Cherrie has put her past behind her. She has changed her name and moved on with her life. She has a loving boyfriend and a perfect little boy. Life could not be better. However, when a local boy disappears a wanna-be journalist, Jay Patel starts a podcast following the case. Jay uncovers Cherrie’s past and reveals her new identity as well as her connection to the notorious serial killer Mr Bones.  Before too long the entire community is talking about Cherrie, and once again she is forced to deal with the media and everyone around her calling her Little Bones. Will she ever be able to escape the legacy of her father?

After listening to this audiobook, this dark and twisted tale, I find myself wondering about the children of true serial killers. How horrid their lives must be? The sins of the father are not reserved for works of fiction only. The author left me reflecting on this subject, wondering if I would be able to treat someone fairly if I knew they were the child of a monster.

Cherrie was absolutely brilliant! I loved her dark twisted thoughts. The author did a fantastic job creating this character. She was very much in touch with her dark side but at the same time a good and loving mother. This character leaves you wondering how far you would go to protect your child. I believe we all have a dark side, Cherrie reminded me of that.

I have been off audiobooks for a while, but the narrators did a very theatrical performance of Little Bones, making it an extremely enjoyable experience. I loved this book.

This tale will appeal to new and seasoned thriller readers. It is a very well-told tale and with some added humour it keeps you from getting too lost in the darkness that lies at the heart of the story. If you only listen to one audiobook this season – make sure it is Little Bones!
