In Her Bones: A Novel

audioboek en e-book


ā€œA higher level than the standard thriller. Readers will enjoy this book for the suspenseā€¦[and] love it for the skill and mastery Moretti has for her craft.ā€ ā€”New York Journal of Books

ā€œMorbidā€¦Moretti pulls some tricky tricks.ā€ ā€”The New York Times

New York Times bestselling author Kate Morettiā€™s next ā€œexceptionalā€¦emotionally astute, [and] deliciously sinisterā€ (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) thriller follows the daughter of a convicted serial killer who finds herself at the center of a murder investigation.

Fifteen years ago, Lilith Wade was arrested for the brutal murder of six women. After a death row conviction, media frenzy, and the release of an unauthorized biography, her thirty-year-old daughter Edie Beckett is just trying to survive out of the spotlight. Sheā€™s a recovering alcoholic with a dead-end city job and an unhealthy codependent relationship with her brother.

Edie also has a disturbing secret: a growing obsession with the families of Lilithā€™s victims. Sheā€™s desperate to see how theyā€™ve managedā€”or failedā€”to move on. While her escalating fixation is a problem, sheā€™s careful to keep her distance. That is, until she crosses a line and a man is found murdered.

Edie quickly becomes the prime suspectā€”and while she canā€™t remember everything that happened the night of the murder, sheā€™d surely remember killing someone. With the detective who arrested her mother hot on her trail, Edie goes into hiding. Sheā€™s must get to the truth of what happened that night before the policeā€”or the real killerā€”find her.

Unless, of course, she has more in common with her mother than sheā€™s willing to admitā€¦

Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, In Her Bones features Morettiā€™s ā€œriveting and insightfulā€ (Megan Miranda, New York Times bestselling author) prose and ā€œchillingly satisfyingā€ (Publishers Weekly) twists, and will leave you questioning the nature of guilt, obsession, and the toxicity of familial ties.
