About this ebook

Looking down at the familiar, pale and lifeless face floating in the salty waters of the marsh, her blood freezes. It’s a face she hasn’t seen for years, but used to know so well…

 

When Detective Casey White is called to a murder scene in the Outer Banks saltmarshes, she’s devastated to find the strangled body of her ex-husband—father of her missing daughter Hannah. And nearby, an older, unidentifiable body is buried too… but how are these bones linked to her ex?

 

Painful memories flood back as Casey desperately searches his apartment, surrounded by photos of them happy with their little girl. Finding a notepad with the name of the hospital where Hannah was last seen scrawled on it, Casey realizes her ex recently discovered something about their child’s disappearance. But who was trying to silence him?

 

Then forensics show the bones belong to a sweet young nurse who worked at the same hospital. Delving into hospital records, Casey is shocked to learn she once held Hannah as a little baby…

 

Her boss insists she can’t work such a personal investigation, but Casey is in too deep. Interviewing all the staff at the hospital, she’s sure one of the doctors is acting suspiciously… and that night, Casey wakes up barely able to breathe as flames devour her home.

 

Now she’s in the killer’s sights. To finally catch this twisted monster and learn what happened to her stolen girl, Casey will have to risk everything…

 

An absolutely unputdownable thriller that will have you gasping at the twists and turns. Fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner and Robert Dugoni will be completely addicted.

BLOG TOUR REVIEW Review for 'The Memory Bones' by B.R Spangler Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Bookouture publishers, B.R Spangler and Bookouture anonymous Publication date 2nd December 2021. This is the second book that I have read by this author. It is also the fifth book in the 'Detective Casey White' series but can be read as a standalone. I have read the second book in this series 'The Innocent Girls' which I would recommend. I was originally drawn to this book by its gorgeous cover, interesting title & intriguing blurb. I am also a fan of BR Spangler and if this book is half as good as 'The Innocent Girls' it is bound to be a great read. The synopsis stated that 'Fans of Karin Slaughter, Lisa Gardner and Robert Dugoni will be completely addicted '. I love Karin Slaughter and Lisa Gardner's books so it will be interesting to see if it lives up to this!! I must admit I was also biased due to the publisher being Bookouture. I have yet to read a book published by Bookou

Detective Casey White’s past drives the plot of The Memory Bones, fifth in the series but a superb standalone thriller. Casey immediately recognizes a body found bound, tortured and killed in the marshes as that of her ex-husband. When his car is located near the police station, she realizes he was coming to see her and she knows there is only one reason for that. He must have discovered new information about their daughter Hannah, kidnapped years ago. Then another body is found with links to a local hospital. Her team suspects a serial killer after someone else is reported missing. How is Hannah’s disappearance related to the bodies in the salt marsh? And… is Hannah still alive? This series keeps getting better! I’m looking forward to the next Casey White thriller because of the changes that have been made to her team. The Memory Bones, with an atmospheric setting in the Outer Banks, is a solid thriller. 5 stars. Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and B.R. Spangler for this ARC.
